Next week the moon will disappear . . . and reappear!
Don't miss next week's total lunar eclipse!
This exciting event will begin next Wednesday night, June 15,at 21:22. The shadow, caused by the moon passing behind the earth so that the earth is between the sun and the moon, will grow across the face of the moon until the moon is completely covered at 22:22. At that point, the moon will turn interesting shades of orange/red until 2 minutes after midnight, when the other side will begin to emerge from the shadow. At 1:02, the moon will have fully re-emerged.
This will be one of the darkest lunar eclipses. See details here.
