April 14, 2014 (CHICAGO) (WLS) -- Larry Ciupik, Adler Planetarium astronomer, joins us to talk about the ''blood moon'' lunar eclipse that will be visible early Tuesday.
A Total Lunar Eclipse occurs only if the entire Moon is in the Earth's shadow.
-About an hour before the Total Lunar Eclipse, the Moon enters the umbra (or dark portion) of the Earth's shadow. This is known as a partial phase of the lunar eclipse and begins at 12:58 a.m. CDT on April 15th and ends at 2:06 a.m. CDT.
-The Total Lunar Eclipse (when the Moon is completely immersed in the Earth's shadow) begins at 2:06 a.m. CDT and ends at 3:24 a.m. CDT on the morning of April 15th. The middle of the eclipse occurs at 2:45 a.m. CDT.
