Blood Red Moon – Total eclipse of the moon TONIGHT!
The full Worm Moon is about to pass through Earth’s shadow, producing a total lunar eclipse visible from North and South America. This time-tagged animation shows how the Moon will turn red during the 90-minute event:
In the Pacific time zone, the eclipse straddles the midnight divide between March 13th and 14th. Further east, it happens entirely during the early hours of March 14th. For a local movie, pick your own time zone:
Its source is ozone. During a lunar eclipse, some of the light illuminating the Moon passes through Earth’s ozone layer. Ozone absorbs red light and actually makes the passing light ray bluer. This can be seen as a soft blue fringe around the red core of Earth’s shadow.
To catch the turquoise on March 13-14, look during the first and last minutes of totality. The turquoise rim is best seen in binoculars or a small telescope.
Keep your eyes to the sky!
