Earth’s shadow will block most of the light that illuminates the lunar surface, creating what is known as a blood moon.

Following last year's total solar eclipse, this week there is a total LUNAR eclipse! Unlike a solar eclipse, you can safely look at a lunar eclipse at any point. During a total lunar eclipse, the Earth is between the sun and the moon. We are watching as the moon passes through Earth's shadow. So we are seeing the Earth's shadow on the moon.

A total lunar eclipse and a partial solar eclipse at sunrise two weeks later will be visible from the Poconos in March. Here's when and how to see them.
