Weather watchers and meteorologists say North Texas is in the area where parts of the moon will appear nearly reddish-brown. \u201cYou won\u2019t need glasses or anything special\u2014just clear skies and cooperative weather,\u201d meteorologist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/share\/p\/1H6sPbc4bB\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Matthew Cappucci<\/a> said this week. \u201cAll of the eclipse will be visible in the eastern U.S.; in the West, the eclipse will be ongoing around moonrise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With a lunar eclipse, the Earth passes between the sun and the moon, blocking most of the sunlight that would illuminate the moon. The light that does make it through appears reddish-orange because of the angle it passes through. Unlike a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dmagazine.com\/publications\/d-magazine\/2024\/march\/get-unobstructed-views-of-the-solar-eclipse-from-these-dallas-rooftops\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">solar eclipse<\/a>, a lunar eclipse is visible to a greater swath of the globe because the entire nighttime side of the Earth is in the path.<\/p>\n<p>A caveat: According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/forecast.weather.gov\/MapClick.php?x=207&amp;y=103&amp;site=fwd&amp;zmx=&amp;zmy=&amp;map_x=206&amp;map_y=102\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">National Weather Service<\/a>, tonight is supposed to be partly cloudy, which may hamper the ability of anyone to see much. But should the sky be relatively clear between 10:57 and 11:28 tonight, about 96.2 percent of the moon will be in the Earth\u2019s shadow at the peak of the eclipse, \u201cwhich is enough to turn it red,\u201d Cappucci says. The next good lunar eclipse will probably be New Year\u2019s Eve 2028.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"North Texas could see a nearly total lunar eclipse tonight.
