North America will see a rare “blood moon” early Tuesday morning, March 3, as a total lunar eclipse turns the full moon a deep red color. In New York City, the eclipse begins at 3:44 a.m. and lasts until about 6:30 a.m., though some people may only catch part of it as the moon sets. The red color happens when Earth moves between the sun and the moon, blocking direct sunlight while light passing through Earth’s atmosphere gives the moon a copper glow.
