Some of you may have seen this on other pages on Facebook. But we will post it in here aswell incase some may have missed it. Tomorrow night there will be a total lunar eclipse where the moon will turn blood red. A blood red moon will emblazon Australian skies on Wednesday night, during a rare total lunar eclipse. A blood moon occurs in the event of a total lunar eclipse, when the Sun, Moon and Earth form a line and the Earth blocks all sunlight to the Moon. The Moon turns a deep red as some light from the sun is bent around Earths atmosphere and reflected onto the Moon. The light reflected is a reddish colour from all the sunsets and sunrises of the Earth shining onto the Moon. Australians are in the fortunate geographic location where they will be able to witness the entire event. Those on the east coast will have the best views, being able to watch the Moons entire transformation throughout the eclipse. In some of Australias western regions the whole eclipse will not be visible as the event begins before moonrise. The event will begin at 8:15pm AEDT, with the visible effects lasting for three hours and 20 minutes. The Moon will appear completely red during the phase of the total eclipse between 9:25pm and 10.25pm AEDT.
