Here's what you need to know about this celestial event.A total lunar eclipse, when the moon slips into the darkest part of Earth's shadow, presents as a orangish or reddish surface because the only sunlight reaching the Moon passes through Earth’s atmosphere, according to NASA.
The moon will appear even more red when there's more dust or clouds in the Earth's atmosphere, according to NASA. Because of the hue, the events often are referred to as"blood moon" eclipses, though it's not a term used by astronomers, Murphy said.And the best way to watch the eclipse?
