“Blood Moon”
Monday (April 14th) night into Tuesday (April 15th) morning was this year’s first total lunar eclipse. In fact this past lunar eclipse was a “Blood Moon”, the shadow that was cast onto the moon gave the moon an eerie blood red color. The eclipse lasted about three and a half hours, but in case you missed it you can view another eclipse that is set to happen in October.
