CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - A lunar eclipse will happen early Tuesday morning, giving the moon a reddish tint by 6 A.M..
A lunar eclipse happens when the sun, Earth, and moon are aligned, and the earth blocks the sunlight from the moon, creating a shadow.
The reason for the red color? Red has a longer wavelength, while blue light has one of the shortest. When the light is refracted from earth, the red color appears, similar to what happens during sunset.
The partial eclipse begins just after 4 A.M., and peaks around 6 A.M.
