How Earth’s shadow will turn the moon blood red this week

A lunar eclipse will occur this week, visible in New York between November 18th and 19th. During the eclipse, the Earth will block sunlight from reaching the moon, causing it to appear red. This happens because Earth's atmosphere filters out blue light, allowing red light to reach the moon. The eclipse will be visible from various regions, including North America and parts of Europe and Asia. For precise timings, viewers can check websites like timeanddate.com.
