A total lunar eclipse will turn the moon blood red on Tuesday across several continents. NEW YORK (AP) – A blood-red moon will soon grace the skies for a total lunar eclipse. There won’t be another until late 2028. The spectacle will be visible Tuesday morning from North America, Central America and the western part of South America. Australia and eastern Asia will see it Tuesday night. During a full lunar eclipse, the Earth is between the sun and moon, casting a shadow that covers the full moon. The moon looks red because of stray bits of sunlight filtering through Earth’s atmosphere. A partial lunar eclipse is in store for August, visible across the Americas, Europe, Africa, and West Asia. Context: Total lunar eclipse visible across different continents, details on visibility and cause of moon’s red appearance. Fact Check: Partial lunar eclipse to follow in August, visible across a wide geographic area.
