A total lunar eclipse, also known as a blood moon, will be visible Tuesday across North America, Central America, western South America, Australia, and eastern Asia, with partial views in Central Asia and much of South America.

The red hue occurs as Earth’s shadow covers the full moon, with sunlight filtering through the atmosphere.

Totality will last about an hour, and no special equipment is needed to watch the eclipse.

The event follows a recent “ring of fire” solar eclipse in Antarctica, and the next total lunar eclipse won’t occur until late 2028, the AP has reported.

A partial lunar eclipse is expected in August, visible across the Americas, Europe, Africa, and western Asia.
