A lunar eclipse is an amazing space phenomenon. When the moon turns blood red during a lunar eclipse it’s getting even more mysterious.
During 2014 and 2015 you will be able to stare at a rare series of four lunar eclipses, also known as a lunar tetrad. The first of these four ‘blood moon’ lunar eclipses is set for April 15 at around 3 a.m.
