Just as the sun sets over North America on Sunday evening, the sun, Earth and moon will begin to align to create the 'blood moon' total lunar eclipse.
The moon will plunge into darkness this weekend to create a celestial spectacle that has not been seen in the sky over the entire contiguous United States since the turn of the decade.
There was also an impressive partial lunar eclipse over the Americas on Nov. 19, 2021, when 97% of the moon went dark, but ultimately fell just short of being considered a total eclipse. "The more dust or clouds in Earth's atmosphere during the eclipse, the redder the Moon will appear," NASA added. This dust could come from a variety of sources, such as wildfires or volcanic eruptions.
People in most of Canada, Central America, South America, western Europe and western Africa will also be able to see the lunar eclipse.Clouds will be a concern for onlookers across most of the eastern U.S. and into Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic Canada. The exception will be the southeastern U.S. where cloud-free conditions should allow for great views of the Blood Moon.
