Blood Moon

Total lunar eclipses occur when the sun, Earth and moon form a near-perfect line-up in space.

A lunar eclipse could be seen across the U.S. on Sunday night, turning the moon a striking shade of red. There'll be another one later this year.

Astro photographer Leonardo Di Maggio told Newsweek that it's actually easy to photograph a lunar eclipse with entry level equipment.
