Skywatchers across large parts of the Americas are set for a striking celestial event as a near-total lunar eclipse turns the Moon a deep reddish-orange this week. At its peak, around 96.2% of the Moon will be covered by Earth’s shadow.
The event comes just two weeks after a total solar eclipse darkened skies across parts of southern Europe and other regions, giving stargazers another chance to watch the Sun, Earth and Moon line up.
