On
Thursday a
total lunar eclipse will occur. It will start at 8:13 PDT in Los Angeles. The moon will remain totally eclipsed for 53 minutes, and should turn substantially darker and reddish in color. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth casts its shadow on the full moon, blocking the sunlight that otherwise reflects off the moon's surface. Unlike solar eclipses, lunar eclipses are safe to view with the naked eye. Eclipses once helped prove the Earth is round, because its shadow on the moon is curved.
