Last total lunar eclipse for three years arrives Tuesday

QuoteBetter catch the moon's disappearing act Tuesday—there won't be another like it for three years.

The total lunar eclipse will be visible throughout North America in the predawn hours—the farther west, the better—and across Asia, Australia and the rest of the Pacific after sunset. As an extra treat, Uranus will be visible just a finger's width above the moon, resembling a bright star.

Totality will last nearly 1 1/2 hours—from 5:16 a.m. to 6:41 a.m. EST—as Earth passes directly between the moon and sun.

Known as a blood moon, it will appear a reddish-orange from the light of Earth's sunsets and sunrises. At the peak of the eclipse, the moon will be 242,740 miles (390,653 kilometers) away, according to NASA scientists. Binoculars and telescopes will enhance viewing, provided the skies are clear.

this eclipse also leaves open the possiblilty of seeing a meteorite hit the moon since we are passing through the taurid meteor path right now.

Speaking of meteorites, did you see the house that got hit and burned to the ground by a meteorite over the weekend in Kali? The videos are crazy.
