ECLIPSE: Stargazers all over the world will have an opportunity to see a blood moon TOMORROW as a lunar eclipse moves into Earth's orbit. 🌔🌕🌖
The moon will turn red during an eye-popping spectacle unlike any other in the night sky in 2022 -- as long as it isn't cloudy.The lunar eclipse occurs when the sun, Earth and moon align, and the moon passes into Earth's shadow,."Blood moon" is the term to describe the part of the total lunar eclipse in which all the Earth's sunrises and sunsets project onto the moon's surface as it passes through Earth's shadow, darkening it and giving it its crimson color.
Rayleigh scattering, the same phenomenon that gives the sky its blue color and makes sunsets red, is what causes the moon to turn red during the eclipse. Red light, which has longer wavelengths than blue light, is seen during a lunar eclipse because the only sunlight reaching the moon passes through Earth's atmosphere, according to NASA.
"It's as if all the world's sunrises and sunsets are projected onto the Moon," according to the administration. The more dust or clouds in the Earth's atmosphere at the time of the eclipse, the more red the moon will appear. During the eclipse, cloud cover is expected from Dallas to Chicago, while scattered clouds will range from Atlanta to New York. NASAThe next total lunar eclipse will occur on Nov. 8. After that, another total lunar eclipse will not occur until March 13, 2025.
