Early in the morning next Tuesday most of North America will be able to view a total lunar eclipse.
These times are for the Eastern Time Zone:
Partial eclipse begins April 15 at 1:59am (Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red.)
Total eclipse begins April 15 at 3:08am (Total moon eclipse starts - completely red moon.)
Maximum eclipse begins April 15 at 3:46am (Moon is closest to the center of the shadow.
Total eclipse ends April 15 at 4:23am
This is from the Christian Post:
The Blood moon Tetrad will feature an extremely rare phenomenon whereby four blood red lunar eclipses take place, each followed by six full moons.
Skygazers are eagerly awaiting to catch a glimpse of the Blood Moon, which will first appear on April 15, with the cycle continuing for more than a year all the way through to Sept. 28, 2015.
The first lunar eclipse in the cycle will take place during the Jewish Passover, and will see the moon turn blood red, a result of the sun's light reflecting off the Earth's atmosphere.
A spokesperson for NASA has said, "This is the first eclipse of the year and is well placed for observers throughout the Western Hemisphere. It will occur at the lunar orbit's ascending node in Virgo."
The first Blood Moon is scheduled to appear in the sky at about 3.07 a.m. ET on April 15, 2014, but will only last around 30 minutes, according to analysts although the entire eclipse should last for more than an hour.
Those who want to see the Blood Moon are advised to try and stay away from city lights, and if watching from garden areas, ensure you turn off garden lights and other lights from the house that may interfere.
Experts have advised, as long as the sky is clear the blood moon will be visible to the naked eye, and should be an amazing sight.
Right now the forecast for the Boston area is partly cloudy Monday night but clearing as it gets into early Tuesday. I have treatment on Monday and for the last 4 treatments I have been up till 3 or 4 am because of the steroids. At least this time I'll have something productive to do.
