Total Lunar Eclipse in Arizona: Your Guide to Thursday’s Celestial Spectacle

Prepare for an awe-inspiring celestial event this Thursday night. A total lunar eclipse, often referred to as a “blood moon,” will illuminate the skies across North America. This rare phenomenon marks the first total lunar eclipse since 2022.
During the eclipse, the Earth will position itself between the sun and the moon, casting a shadow that transforms the moon’s surface into a striking red hue. This striking change occurs due to the scattering of sunlight through the Earth’s atmosphere.
