NEW YORK (PIX11) – A Blood Moon will appear in the morning sky on Tuesday morning, according to NASA.
Why is it called a Blood Moon?
During a Blood Moon, also known as a total lunar eclipse, the Moon appears dark red or orange. This is because sunlight does not reach the Moon, and the light that does reach the lunar surface is filtered through a thick slice of Earth’s atmosphere, according to NASA.
When can I see the eclipse?
The best time to see the eclipse will be around 6:03 a.m., and it will last nearly an hour.
Where can I see the eclipse?
New Yorkers are in luck.
This total lunar eclipse will be visible across North America. However, it will be best observed from the central and western regions of North America, according to the Almanac.
When is the next one?
If you miss this lunar eclipse, you’ll have to wait until June 2029 to see the next one, according to the Farmers’ Almanac.
