Blood moon lunar eclipse today

Houston skywatchers are in for a rare celestial treat this Tuesday morning, as a total lunar eclipse—often called a "Blood Moon"—takes center stage. 

The spectacle begins with a partial phase at 3:50 a.m., but the highlight will be totality, when the moon takes on a deep coppery red hue from 5:04 a.m. to 6:02 a.m. 

For the best views, look toward the western horizon around the eclipse's peak at 5:33 a.m., just before the moon sets and the sun begins to rise. This event is particularly significant as it is the last total lunar eclipse visible from Houston until New Year's Eve in 2028.
