A total lunar eclipse is coming. What to know about the 'blood moon'
USA TODAY
A total lunar eclipse will be visible in the United States on March 3. Here's how to view it.
In the early morning hours of March 3, a total lunar eclipse will pass over the United States.
The "blood moon" eclipse will cause the moon to exhibit a reddish hue, according to NASA. It will be visible in parts of the world beginning in the evening and going into the early morning, NASA said.
Here's everything to know about the phenomenon as it approaches.
A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the sun and the moon, creating a shadow across the lunar surface, which turns the moon's color reddish-orange. Our planet blocks most of the sun's light from reaching the moon, but the Earth's movement during the eclipse will cause the natural satellite to develop a color.
The moon typically exhibits a grey color because light that reaches the lunar surface is often filtered through Earth's atmosphere.
