Did you wake to a moon that looked reddish?
Well if you did I can tell you why! It's called a lunar eclipse.
FACT: Lunar means moon and eclipse means obscuring light from one celestial body by the passage between it and the observer or between it and it's source of illumination.
Why did it happen?
Well a lunar eclipses happens when the earth passes between the moon and the sun and they all form a perfectly straight line so that's why it looks a reddish color.
What does it take to see a lunar eclipse?
Well the thing is we just had a lunar eclipse so you'll have to wait a while to see it but...
1. You have to know when it happens and you can just look on online when the next one will be.
2. It doesn't take any special equipment to see a lunar eclipse you can see it with your two naked eyes.
3. They are almost always in the morning so you will need an alarm clock to see it so you don't miss it!
So now you know a few things about the the lunar eclipse and you know the way to see a lunar eclipse!
