Check out the Blood Moon!

Posted by : driou Tuesday, April 15, 2014

Early Tuesday morning saw the arrival of the 'Blood Moon' which was viewed worldwide for those who either got up early or stayed awake to check it out. The next time that the moon will appear as it does in these images will happen later this year around October.

From NASA:

"There are about two lunar eclipses a year, but you'll only see a blood mood during a total eclipse. There are also partial eclipses, when the moon only passes into part of Earth’s shadow, and penumbral eclipses, when the moon barely grazes the Earth’s shadow, which is so subtle most sky-gazers don't even notice."
