The Blood Worm Moon, the name given to the March full moon by the Farmer’s Almanac, moved through Earth’s shadow in the early hours of March 14, giving it a reddish-orange colour. Lunar eclipses happen about twice a year. The rarest are full lunar eclipses, occurring less than 30 per cent of the time, making this past week’s eclipse extra special. Unlike a solar eclipse, which can only be viewed from a relatively small area of the world and lasts only a few minutes, a lunar eclipse may be viewed from anywhere on the night side of Earth and totality can last nearly two hours.
