Copper-Hued Blood Moon to Grace Skies Across Three Continents

A total lunar eclipse, known as a blood moon, will light up the skies over North America, Australia and New Zealand on Tuesday as Earth's shadow reddens the Moon; viewing times vary by city with dark-sky locations offering the best view, and Jupiter will also be visible nearby. The next total lunar eclipse isn’t until late 2028/2029, and while ancient cultures once read the red Moon as an omen, today it’s celebrated as a striking astronomical event.
