The obvious questions

What is a near-total lunar eclipse?

A near-total lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes through the Earth's shadow, causing it to appear darkened and often reddish in color. This happens when the moon is in the penumbral and umbral shadows of the Earth.

Why does the moon appear orange during a lunar eclipse?

The moon appears orange during a lunar eclipse due to the Earth's atmosphere scattering sunlight. The shorter blue and violet wavelengths are scattered more, allowing the longer red wavelengths to pass through and illuminate the moon.

Where will the near-total lunar eclipse be visible?

The near-total lunar eclipse will be visible in the U.S. Coverage does not yet specify other regions.
