It’s Another Big Bad Blood Moon This Saturday

Theres another total lunar eclipse coming up with Saturday morning. Catching a glimpse around here is like Forrest Gump's box of chocolates, you never know what you get.

According to Time & Date the eclipse should be totally visible at 7:00 a.m. Saturday morning here in Texas. This type of eclipse is also often called a Blood Moon because the earths shadow can give the moon a red tint. This is the third of four eclipses in the lunar tetrad with the last one landing on September 28th. The tetrad refers to the fact that these full eclipses are happening back to back with no partial ones between.  You just got scienced playa!
