Total eclipse will turn Moon red-News-UK-Science-TimesOnline
Total eclipse will turn Moon red-News-UK-Science-TimesOnline: "Millions of people have the chance to see the most spectacular lunar eclipse in years tonight when the Moon will turn bright orange or red.
Lunar eclipses are when the Earth’s shadow from the Sun falls directly on the Moon and a change in the weather forecast means it is likely to be visible almost everywhere in the country. The colour of the Moon will change from silvery white to coppery red or orange as light is deflected by the Earth’s atmosphere and bounces back off the “blood moon”. "
