evening, and as a full moon plunges into the Earth's dark inner shadow, its surface will turn a dark, rusty red. For this reason, lunar eclipses are often called blood moons.
"So when the moon rises, it already will be partially in the Earth's umbra shadow, exhibiting that familiar rusty red color," McKeegan wrote in an email."Maximum totality will occur in evening twilight at 8:29 p.m, when the moon will be still very low in the east. The moon will begin to emerge from the umbra at 9:54 p.m., by which time the sky will be fully dark."
