Watch the Lunar Eclipse Tonight!!

 Stay up late TONIGHT for the blood red eclipse of 4/14/14!

NASA describes it as a “all the sunsets on Earth, projected onto the Moon”

 Starting at about 2 am for myself and my fellow East Coasters, the full moon will pass into the Earth’s shadow until about 5:30 am.  Between about 3 am and 4:30 am, there will be a TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE and the moon will appear to be a rusty red color.

For my folks on the West Coast, the eclipse will start at 11:30 pm.

This extraordinary celestial show is, in fact, a product of a relatively rare full-lunar eclipse. The Earth, moon and sun will be in alignment for a few hours on April 15 (early Tuesday morning), so that our blue orb’s shadow will pass over the moon. Light from the sun will scatter through the earth’s atmosphere and illuminate the moon (NASA describes it as a “all the sunsets on Earth, projected onto the Moon”), resulting in the moon’s temporary “red” appearance. The so-called “Blood Moon” will more likely be a lovely shade of rose. http://on.mash.to/Q8jq55
