Red Lunar Eclipse on Saturday March 3, 2007
Saturday night's skies will glow with a red color, and if the night is clear it will be the perfect opportunity to see the a red lunar eclipse.
The eclipse occurs because Earth will be exactly positioned between the sun and the moon so that most of the light falling on the moon is effectively blocked by Earth. The moon's unusual coloring is caused by the bending of light waves that have curved around Earth and filtered through the atmosphere. The hue depends on how much dust exists there.
