This Weekend’s Blood Moon Shouldn’t be Missed

We will have about 5 minutes to catch a glimpse of the Blood Moon Easter morning. This lunar eclipse will be the shortest one this century.

This lunar eclipse will be the third of four eclipses in a lunar eclipse tetrad. The first occurred in April 2014, with the second rising in September 2014. The final lunar eclipse in the tetrad will happen on Sept. 28, according to NASA.

"During the eclipse, the moon often looks reddish because sunlight has passed through Earth's atmosphere, which filters out most of its blue light," NASA officials said in a statement. "This eerie, harmless effect has earned the tongue-in-cheek nickname 'blood moon.'"

I think this is pretty cool. For those of us who aren't lunar experts, we can reach out to NASA via twitter on Saturday with hashtag #eclipse2015 5am CT throughout the eclipse!
