CLEVELAND — There will be a show in the sky tonight across the United
States: a lunar eclipse. The moon will be caught behind the Earth's
shadow, or penumbra and umbra, causing it to temporarily disappear and
eventually turn red. Lunar eclipses are usually also known as blood
moons. However, some Americans will get the full display while others
only get a partial eclipse.

WHY THE RED?
As the moon hides behind the Earth's shadow, the moon doesn't just darken, it actually turns red. Sunlight around the edge of the earth
skims through the atmosphere and bends it towards the moon. Essentially
it is all the current sunrises and sunsets casting their red and orange
glows upon the moon. 6park.com WHERE TO LOOK?
The peak lunar eclipse will take place over the central Pacific. From
the United States' perspective, it will be in the southwestern sky. If
you divide the nation in half (east - west), the eastern US will see the
partial eclipse just before sunrise. The western US will see a more
complete eclipse early in the morning (3-6 AM local time).

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT WHERE YOU LIVE The farther south and west you live, more of the eclipse you will see, and the more red color or "blood moon" you will see too. Towards
the north and east, expect only a partial eclipse. In fact ,the red may
not be visible, instead a portion of the moon may just be darkened,
close to the Great Lakes and Northeast. Here is what you can expect
region-by-region and state-by-state. 6park.com Clouds will remain a huge factor. Clear skies will help make this spectacle visible.

WHAT ABOUT OHIO?
It will be hard to see the partial eclipse because the eclipse will
just begin around 5 AM with the moon just about 10 degrees above the
horizon. You will need to find a clear, elevated spot to look in the
southwestern sky. The moon will set at 6 AM. In Cleveland, just a sliver
of the left side of the moon will darken before the moon disappears
below the horizon. 6park.com CHECK OUT THE TIME CALCULATOR 6park.com To see an animation of what you will roughly see in the night / early morning sky, type your city into the calculator by tapping
