Look up to the sky! We’ll be seeing a total lunar eclipse this morning, the last one for another 3 years.
This phenomenon happens when the Earth passes between the sun and the moon. The sun’s rays reach the Earth’s atmosphere, and most colors are filtered out through a process called “scattering”. This specific type of scattering, also seen during sunrises and sunsets, allows reds and oranges to pass through. From this, a reddish tint is cast on to the moon during a lunar eclipse, hence the name “blood moon”.

Totality began around 5:16am and the best viewing time will be 5:59am. You’ll be able to see the eclipse until 6:41am, but the moon will be low on the horizon so you may want to head out a bit earlier than this.
The next time we’ll be seeing a lunar eclipse won’t be until March 14, 2025.
