- 🌕 A total lunar eclipse occurs when the Sun, Earth, and Moon align, with the Earth casting a shadow.
- 🌍 The Earth's atmosphere refracts sunlight, creating a coppery red tint on the Moon as it passes through the darkest part of the shadow, known as the umbra.
- 🩸 This red hue is why a total lunar eclipse is sometimes called a 'blood moon'.
Timing and Visibility
- ⏰ The total eclipse (red hue) will last for approximately 65 minutes, beginning at 1:26 AM, peaking at 1:58 AM, and ending at 2:31 AM.
- 🌌 Partial eclipse viewing will be possible between 12:09 AM and 3:47 AM.
- ☁️ Viewing conditions tonight are described as 'okay', with some cloud cover expected.
Next Opportunity
- 🗓️ If you miss this event, the next total lunar eclipse is scheduled for March 3rd, 2026.
