A full "Blood Moon" total lunar eclipse begins tonight 10:57pm.
Totality — when the Moon is entirely within Earth's shadow — is set to occur between 1:26am and 2:31am Friday, per NASA.
🌕 What to expect: During totality, the Moon will take on a deep red-orange hue, a phenomenon often referred to as a "Blood Moon."
🔭 How to see it: No special equipment is required, but binoculars or a telescope will enhance the view. Find a dark spot, check the forecast, and look up.
Why it matters: The last total lunar eclipse was in November 2022, and after this one, the next one visible here won't be until March 2026.
