A rare total lunar eclipse and blood moon is coming to the Georgia sky, and we’re in the right place at the right time for this event. On the morning of March 3, the moon will pass through Earth’s shadow and turn a deep, rusty red in a total lunar eclipse.
As the moon moved through the shadow of the Earth, it was also being illuminated by light from the sun — causing the moon to appear as if dipped in a deep red hue in a stunning celestial sight.
In the wee hours of Tuesday morning, the moon fell completely into Earth's shadow and turned a shade of red — either an astronomical delight or Election Day omen, depending on who you ask.
