LUNAR ECLIPSE: Viewers share blood moon pics on KSAT Connect South Texas sees a total lunar eclipse
SAN ANTONIO – Night owl South Texans experienced a total lunar eclipse, also called a “blood moon,” early Friday morning.
A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth blocks sunlight from reaching the moon, casting a shadow on it.
During a total lunar eclipse, the moon turns reddish as sunlight filters through Earth’s atmosphere. This light bends, removing blue tones and allowing red and orange shades to reach the moon’s surface.
A total lunar eclipse happens about once every 2.5 years at any given location. While eclipses occur four to seven times a year, total ones make up about 29%.
Many of our KSAT Connect users were able to see the event. Here are some photos from our viewers:
