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.

Interesting. Thanks. I'll make sure I watch for it.
