Cape Canaveral Florida: If you missed April’s total eclipse of the moon now’s your chance. But you’ll need to get up early.
Wednesday morning if the skies are clear North Americans will have prime viewing of a full lunar eclipse especially in the West. The full moon will be obscured by Earth’s shadow in the predawn hours. The total eclipse will last an hour — until sunrise on the East Coast.
It also will be visible across Australia andmuch of Asia. Only Europe Africa and the eastern tip of Brazil won’t get the show.
The moon will appear orange or red the result of sunlight scattering off Earth’s atmosphere. That’s why it’s called a blood moon.
There’ll be two full lunar eclipses again next year.
