A total lunar eclipse on Sunday night

Be sure to search on Sunday night, you can catch one of the most anticipated sky-watching events of the year, the bloody moon.

A bloody moon occurs when a full moon is in a total lunar eclipse, which turns the moon into a reddish-orange color.

The name of the super flower refers to the fact that it occurs in the spring.

(This is called a beaver eclipse if it occurs in the fall.)

The impending lunar eclipse is the first total lunar eclipse in North America in two years.

The eclipse will last just over 5 hours, starting around 10:30 a.m. over Ontario and ending early Monday morning.
