If you are up bright and early, out up very very late, you will see quite the show in the skies on Tuesday of next week.
A total lunar eclipse is set to take place.
That was Backyard Astronomer Gary Boyle.
If that seems too early for you, the good news is the full show begins at around 6 and it’ll be quite the show.
Boyle also took some time to explain that “orange moon” and why it does turn that colour.
In the mean time, astronomers should keep their telescopes handy.
The next total eclipse which all of North America will see will be on March 14, 2025.
Eclipse times are:
Partial umbral eclipse begins: 4:09 a.m. Moon enters the earth’s shadow.
Total lunar eclipse begins: 5:16 a.m. Moon turns dark orange or red.
Greatest eclipse: 5:59 a.m. Mid-point of the eclipse.
Total lunar eclipse ends: 6:41 a.m. Moon begins to leave the shadow as it sets in the west.
Partial umbral eclipse ends: Moon ready set.
