Blood Moon - Partial Lunar Eclipse Event
The term Blood Moon refers to the ominous reddish glow cast on the Moon during a lunar eclipse. The eclipse will be visible beginning around 10:30pm and will peak shortly after midnight. At the peak of the eclipse, follow Chinese and Mayan tradition by using noisemakers to drive away the evil associated with this celestial event!
