Lunar Eclipses

Jessi introduces the night sky and explains how the moon's appearance changes. She describes lunar eclipses, which occur when the Earth aligns between the sun and the moon, casting a shadow that can make the moon appear red. This color change is due to sunlight bending through Earth's atmosphere. Lunar eclipses are safe to view and can be seen from specific regions. They occur infrequently, about twice a year, and the next one is in September.
