You are at tk here: Red Red Moon

Still can't get over Cas Haley losing out to Terry Fator in America's Got Talent? Well, this beautiful, serene sight coming on Aug 28 should calm you down. It's Red Red Moon day (or night if you prefer) and it'll last 1.5 hours, enough for you to lay down and just forget the world. Yes, let's waste time, chasing eclipses, around our heads.

The upcoming eclipse is called a central lunar eclipse. It's central because the moon is entering the center of Earth's shadow. A lunar eclipse is simply Earth casting a shadow on the moon, unlike the one in Heroes, which is a solar eclipse, where the moon casts a shadow on Earth.

Depending on where you are, the eclipse will begin at various times with varying degrees of darkness. Unfortunately, all of the times happen to be in the morning, like really really early morning, when most people are asleep. Oh stop complaining, will you? It's not everyday that you get to see an eclipse, although I keep seeing it on Heroes.
