What happened
The moon will appear red due to the Earth's atmosphere scattering sunlight. This eclipse is notable because it is the last lunar eclipse visible from Earth for over two years. The eclipse will be visible from various locations, with events planned at observatories like Griffith Observatory.
The phenomenon occurs when the Earth comes between the sun and the moon, casting a shadow that turns the moon a reddish hue. Skywatchers and astronomy enthusiasts are preparing for the event. The Griffith Observatory is hosting a special event for the eclipse.
The next celestial event to watch for is a solar eclipse, which is scheduled to occur soon.
