The full moon in March, sometimes called the worm moon, coincides with a lunar eclipse that brings a blood-red color in many parts of the world.
A blood-red moon will soon grace the skies for a total lunar eclipse. There won’t be another until late 2028. The spectacle will be visible Tuesday morning from North America, Central America and western part of South America. Australia and eastern Asia will see it Tuesday night. During a full lunar eclipse, the Earth is between the sun and moon, casting a shadow that covers the full moon. The moon looks red because of stray bits of sunlight filtering through Earth’s atmosphere. A partial lunar eclipse is in store for August, visible across the Americas, Europe, Africa and west Asia.
Indiana State Police are encouraging people to take precautions ahead of the solar eclipse on Monday.
