Red Moon will be seen Today
GET SET for an astronomical experience like no other.
We're going to be treated to a total lunar eclipse tonight, with the moon expected to take on an eerie reddish glow.
The glow is due to sunlight being filtered by the Earth's polluted atmosphere falling on the moon.
Airborne ash from the recent volcanic eruptions and existing airborne pollution will likely add to the darkening effect.
Lunar eclipses are one of the most spectacular sights in astronomy and one not to be missed. Lunar eclipses occur when the Earth gets between the sun and the moon, casting a shadow.
The eerie part starts when the moon's leading edge first enters the Earth's shadow, and the eclipse begins.
Astronauts on the moon would see an amazing sight. They'd actually see the Earth eclipsing the sun. They would see a bright red ring around the Earth as they watched all the sunrises and sunsets happening simultaneously around the world.
Unlike solar eclipses, lunar eclipses are completely safe to watch. You don't need any kind of protective filters and can watch the lunar eclipse with nothing more than your own two eyes. But to see it well, you need to get away from any bright lights. It will be a wonderful photo opportunity.
