Blood Moon 2025: First total lunar eclipse since 2022 is tonight

You'll be able to turn your eyes skyward tonight to see a somewhat rare celestial occurrence: The first total lunar eclipse since 2022. The total lunar eclipse, also known as a "blood moon," will take place overnight between Thursday, March 13 and Friday, March 14. The last time there was a total lunar eclipse was in November 2022. What is a total lunar eclipse? During a total lunar eclipse, the moon moves into the inner part of the Earth's shadow, known as the umbra. Initially the moon will appear to have a bite taken out of one side but as the eclipse nears its peak, the moon will take on a coppery tint — granting it the name "blood moon." After the eclipse reaches its maximum, the process plays out in reverse and the reddish hue will slowly fade until the moon returns to normal. Eclipses always come in pairs, meaning a solar eclipse will follow a few weeks after the total lunar eclipse. The next partial solar eclipse will only be visible from Eastern Canada, Greenland and Northern Europe, NASA says. #Eclipse #News #Space #Weather #Science READ MORE: https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/nat...
