What Is A “Blood Moon” ? [VIDEO + PHOTO]
It's the 2nd and final lunar eclipse of 2014...but what exactly IS a "blood moon"?
In the simplest terms we could find (from USA Today)
The moon will appear a coppery red, so it's been called a "blood" moon. It'll look red because of all the sunsets and sunrises from the Earth that will reflect onto the lunar surface. (During the eclipse, although it's completely in the shadow of Earth, a bit of reddish sunlight still reaches the moon.)
Keep an eye to the sky....while the total eclipse is 6:25am EST, it will be a very cool sight until about 7:25am!
