Total lunar eclipse to turn moon blood red: When and how to see it

A total lunar eclipse is expected to occur Tuesday morning, offering a “blood moon” view as the moon moves through Earth’s shadow. The event will be visible from parts of the United States, weather permitting, with viewers urged to watch as the moon gradually darkens and reddens during totality.

Skywatchers should aim for clear skies and look high in the southeastern sky before dawn, as the eclipse progresses. The total phase typically lasts about one to two hours, followed by gradual return of the moon’s normal color as it exits Earth’s shadow.

Observers are advised to arrive early, bring binoculars for enhanced viewing, and avoid looking away from the moon during the peak to appreciate the color shift and the eclipse’s progression.
