If you are a star gazer or someone intrigued with astronomy, here’s a fascinating event for you. There will be a “Total Lunar Eclipse” on April 15th 2014 at 3am EDT. It will be visible in the Australia, the Americas and Pacific.
A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes through the Earth’s shadow. The Earth’s shadow consists of 2 parts, a dark inner core called the umbra and a lighter outer part called the penumbra. The umbra may take on a range of colors from light coppery red to almost total black. For anyone up at that hour, this should be fascinating to watch and should last more than an hour.
