00:01
There's a total lunar eclipse on the way this month, visible across the Americas.
00:06
Lunar eclipses can be viewed from anywhere the Moon is above the horizon at the time.
00:11
The show unfolds overnight on March 13th and into the 14th, depending on your time zone.
00:16
Check the schedule for your area for precise timing.
00:19
Now during a total lunar eclipse, we watch as the Moon passes through Earth's shadow.
00:25
It first appears to have a bite taken out of one's side, but as maximum eclipse nears,
00:30
the Moon transforms into a deep crimson orb.
00:34
That red color comes from the ring of all the sunsets and sunrises you'd see encircling
00:39
our planet if you were an astronaut on the lunar surface right then.
00:43
Afterward, the eclipse plays out in reverse, with the red color fading and the dark bite
00:48
shrinking until the Moon looks like its usual self again.
00:52
And here's an interesting pattern.
00:54
Eclipses always arrive in pairs.
00:57
A couple of weeks before or after a lunar eclipse, there's always a solar eclipse.
01:02
And this time, it's a partial solar eclipse that will be visible across Eastern Canada,
01:06
Greenland, and Northern Europe.
