From Anarchist Mt. Osoyoos
The shortest total lunar eclipse in a century, lasting only a few minutes in most places.
Parts of the eclipse will be visible throughout Canada, but some areas will only be able to catch a quick glimpse of a partial eclipse.
A total lunar eclipse happens when the Earth, sun and moon are perfectly aligned in space and the moon passes through the Earth’s darkest shadow. A partial lunar eclipse is when only part of the moon is covered by that shadow.
The appearance of a total lunar eclipse has led to its nickname — blood moon — as when the moon is fully in the shadow, it could take on an orange-ish or red colour.
