This year, only astronomy lovers in the US, Asia, India, western China, Russia, Australia and the Pacific will have the opportunity to see the "blood moon". The African, European and Middle Eastern regions are on the other side of the Earth, so they will not be able to admire this phenomenon. Photo: Mike Zacchino |

| During total eclipse, sunlight passing through Earth’s dusty atmosphere is bent, refracted toward the red part of the spectrum, and casts a shadow on the Moon’s surface. As a result, the Moon’s disk changes from dark gray during partial eclipse to reddish-yellow during total eclipse. Photo: Chris Stockdale |
