A Total Lunar Eclipse (Blood Moon) in the early hours this morning viewed from White Rock. ‘A lunar eclipse occurs when the Sun, Earth and Moon align so that the Moon passes into Earth’s shadow. In a total lunar eclipse, the entire Moon falls within the darkest part of Earth’s shadow, called the umbra. When the Moon is within the umbra, it will turn a reddish hue. Lunar eclipses are sometimes called ‘Blood Moons’ because of this phenomenon.’ Source: NASA ScienceEarth’s Moon. Photo by Nancy Ann Hibbs
