CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — The second total lunar eclipse of the year will happen early Wednesday. If the skies are clear, North Americans will be able to view it, especially in the West.
The National Weather Service reported the event begins at 4:15 a.m.
The total eclipse starts at 5:25 a.m. and will last an hour. The moon will appear orange or red, the result of sunlight scattering off Earth’s atmosphere. That’s why it’s called a blood moon.
