The obvious questions
What is a partial lunar eclipse?
A partial lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth comes between the sun and the moon, casting a shadow on the moon. In this case, 96% of the moon will be in shadow.
Why is it called a Blood Moon?
The term Blood Moon refers to the reddish color the moon takes on during a lunar eclipse, due to the Earth's atmosphere scattering sunlight.
What is the Sturgeon Moon?
The Sturgeon Moon is the full moon that occurs in August, named after the sturgeon fish that were abundant in the Great Lakes during this time of year.
