The Blood Moon: A Sky Event That Brings Together the Americas.
Reading
A total lunar eclipse will turn the moon red on Thursday night and Friday morning. The best places to see it will be in North and South America.
A lunar eclipse happens when the Earth lines up perfectly between the sun and the moon. This blocks the sunlight from reaching the moon, causing it to darken or turn red.
The red color comes from some sunlight bending through the Earth's atmosphere. You won't need any special glasses to watch this lunar eclipse, just look up at the sky!
The eclipse starts at 2:26 AM Eastern Time on Friday morning and peaks around 3 AM. If you miss this one, there will be another total lunar eclipse in September.
People have been fascinated by lunar eclipses for a very long time. Ancient cultures learned a lot about the Earth and moon by watching these events.
