The total eclipse will be seen across the western United States and Canada, Australia and much of Central and East Asia. A lunar eclipse occurs when Earth aligns between the Sun and the Moon, casting its shadow across the lunar surface. As sunlight filters through Earth’s atmosphere, the Moon often glows a deep red or orange — the phenomenon known as a “Blood Moon”.
