If You Didn’t See The Lunar Eclipse Early Wednesday Morning, Check Out This STUNNING Time Lapse Video Of The Blood Moon!
Sequels are usually a disappointment. But not this time, not with this heavenly body.
People throughout the United States had a front-row seat for the show: a lunar eclipse that made the moon look a burnt reddish-orange.
The ”blood moon,” as it’s called, was the second of the year.
The full eclipse started at about 6:25 a.m. ET and lasted until about 7:24 a.m. ET.
Because it happened right after the perigee — when the moon is closest in its orbit to Earth — this blood moon was nearly the size of a super moon, appearing more than 5% larger than the previous blood moon in April.
While we’re talking sequels, this series is only halfway through. Two more blood moons are coming. Hollywood might dub it a quadrilogy, but scientists call it a tetrad.
The series is occurring in roughly six-month intervals. April 4, 2015, is the next one, and last will appear on September 28, 2015.
