If you were up late last night and had clear skies in your area, you may have seen the moon turn red for a terrifying moment. No, it's not a sign of the end times (probably). Last night's "blood moon" was caused by a lunar eclipse, when Earth comes between the moon and the sun, casting a shadow on the moon's surface.…
There's a lunar eclipse tonight, with totality lasting from 3:06 a.m. till 4:24 a.m. on the East Coast. Unfortunately, that's when cloud cover will be approaching totality in the East, too. So snap a picture at 12:06 a.m., California, and let us know what it looked like. We'll try again on October 8.
