BLOOD MOON April 4, 2015 ~ 3rd OF THE TETRAD
Published on Apr 4, 2015
On Saturday morning, April 4, 2015 not long before sunrise, the bright full moon over North America turned blood red during the total lunar eclipse.
The total eclipse lasted only five minutes.
This eclipse marks the third in a series of four lunar eclipses in a row, known as a "tetrad."
The first in the series occurred on April 15, 2014, with the second in the tetrad of eclipses on October 8, 2014, and the final will be September 28, 2015.
For a total lunar eclipse to happen, the Moon must be full, which means it is directly opposite the Sun, with Earth in between.
The eclipse happens when the Moon moves into the shadow cast by the Sun shining on Earth.
We don't have an eclipse every month because sometimes the Moon is above the shadow, sometimes below.
During the eclipse, the Moon often looks reddish because sunlight has passed through Earth's atmosphere, which filters out most of its blue light.
This eerie, harmless effect has earned the nickname "blood moon."
A telescope is not needed to view a lunar eclipse-- just find the Moon in the sky and enjoy.
