Lunar eclipse will deliver blood-red moon over Kamloops, North America Thursday night
KAMLOOPS — North America will see a lunar eclipse around 11:30 p.m. Thursday (March 13). The eclipse will create a dim, red moon that should appear fully eclipsed in Kamloops and the rest of the B.C. Interior.
Lunar eclipses are astronomical events that happen two to three times a year.
“The sun is over here and as it shines towards the Earth, it will cast a shadow,” Abedin Abedin, physics and astronomy instructor at TRU, explained to CFJC Today. “As the moon passes through that shadow, we will see the lunar eclipse. Basically, the light from the moon will significantly diminish.”
