Blood Moon Or Total Lunar Eclipse This Week Over Bismarck

People will be looking up to the sky, if they can wake up early enough to share in the blood moon or total eclipse of the moon, Wednesday between 3:45 until 5:25 AM.

This will be he second total lunar eclipse, from a total of four in 2014-15.

The event will be  the second of four consecutive total lunar eclipses in 2014 and 2015, according to NASA officials.

During a total eclipse, " the moon passes into Earth's shadow, causing the planet to darken the face of the moon. Instead of making the moon go completely dark, the moon shines with a rosy hue during a total eclipse because it reflects light from the sun coming through Earth's atmosphere."

Not only will you see a blood or red moon, depending on the weather in Bismarck, you could see blue and light blue- green colors. The forecast for Tuesday night, Wednesday morning - partly cloudy skies, with over night lows of 50 degrees.

NASA officials say that- Next week's eclipse is the second in a so-called total lunar eclipse tetrad,  a series of four consecutive eclipses that began earlier this year. The first total eclipse tetrad occurred in April. The next total eclipse in the series will occur on April 4, 2015, and the fourth eclipse will rise on Sept. 28, 2015.
