Mark your calendars, sky watchers: In one week, a total lunar eclipse will turn the moon an eerie shade of red.
On April 15, at 1:58 a.m. EDT, the moon will move into Earth’s shadow. The full lunar eclipse – when the entirety of the moon is shaded by Earth – begins just over an hour later at 3:07 a.m. and lasts until 4:25 a.m. EDT. The eclipse will be visible across almost the entire continental United States, most of Canada and Central America and parts of South America.
This will be a spectacular eclipse, in which the moon will turn blood red, and you will be able to see it, no matter where you are in America. This is a rare even, so be there.... Wait, don't be there. There isn't any air to breathe there. Be here instead, and enjoy the show.
NOTE: Interesting that the moon will turn blood red on tax deadline day. Looks like the IRS is going to be squeezing blood out of the moon as well. LOL.
