Psst. Wanna see a total lunar eclipse? 🌞🌎🌗 On May 15, Earth will pass between the Sun and the Moon, blocking sunlight and casting a shadow on the lunar surface. The result: a Moon that looks like it's blushing because everybody is gawking at it. Starting at 9:32 p.m. EDT (1:32 UTC on May 16), people with clear skies in the Americas, Europe, and parts of Africa will begin to see the Moon get bathed in the red glow of every sunrise and sunset refracted through Earth’s atmosphere. Totality will occur at 12:12 a.m. EDT on May 16 (4:12 UTC). What if it's cloudy where you are? We're livestreaming the eclipse from locations across the planet. We're also hosting an episode of "NASA Science Live from 11 p.m. - midnight EDT (03:00 - 04:00 UTC) with NASA experts. Go to moon.nasa.gov for details.
