On the night of Wednesday, February 20th, Colorado will be treated to a total lunar eclipse! That happens when the Earth's shadow temporarily blocks sunlight from reaching the moon's surface. Unlike a solar eclipse, it is completely safe to directly view a lunar eclipse, because moonlight reflected back to Earth from the surface of the moon and not the direct, intense rays of the sun.
For Colorado, this eclipse reaches "totality" just a few minutes before the start of Fox 31 News at 9 PM!
For more information on this lunar eclipse, check out my favorite Astronomy website: http://www.skyandtelescope.com/observing/home/15357796
