Blood moon' total lunar eclipse to make short appearance on Saturday
The moon will turn dusky red on Saturday, as the shortest total lunar eclipse in a century makes a “blood moon” visible around much of the world.
Slightly before dawn, the moon will pass behind the Earth’s shadow while sunlight passing through the planet’s atmosphere and around its rim casts the moon in a dark, brownish red colour.
New Yorkers will be able to see the moon change colour over some of its surface, while people west of the Mississippi and throughout Australia will be able to watch the full “blood moon” of a total eclipse.
