The Next Blood Moon Will Take Place Tonight!

[n2doc]

For those of you who missed the blood moon this past April, have no fear, Mother Nature is giving you a second chance. On Wednesday, October 8th, the next blood moon will reflect bright in the sky.

For North American viewers, the lunar eclipse will begin shortly after midnight between October 7th and 8th; those in Australia and most of Eastern Asia will see it after sunset on the evening of October 8th.

Unfortunately, those living in Europe and Africa will be missing out on this particular astronomical phenomenon.

Shame all that green cheese is going to melt.

2. And once again, it promises to be cloudy in Cleveland

But nothing different there. Just that we don't get to see these events.

3. Same in Pennsylvania.

4. I'll trade a blood moon view for some rain clouds here in CA.

Happily.

5. Please stop calling an ordinary lunar eclipse a blood moon.

It sounds like profound ignorance of what is actually happening. And yes, I know that suddenly and bizarrely that term has been adopted by almost everyone, but I wish it would go away.

NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day is this view of the October 8 lunar eclipse taken by Yuri Beletsky at Las Campanas Observatory, Chile. The shadow of the Earth cutting through, the glow, the misty sea that fades into the sky itself—so otherworldly and ethereal.
