If you’re looking to see the lunar eclipse in eastern Idaho, look toward the moon between 12:26 a.m. and 1:31 a.m. You won’t need any special equipment or glasses, but binoculars or a telescope will enhance the view. NASA recommends viewing it in a dark environment away from bright lights to ensure the best viewing conditions. What is a lunar eclipse? A lunar eclipse happens when the sun, earth, and moon align so that the moon passes into earth’s shadow, according to NASA. “In a total lunar eclipse, the entire moon falls within the darkest part of earth’s shadow, called the umbra,” says NASA officials. “When the moon is within the umbra, it appears red-orange. Lunar eclipses are sometimes called “Blood Moons” because of this phenomenon.” If you manage to capture a cool photo of the “Blood Moon”, send it into news@eastidahonews.com.
