'Blood Moon' Appears Over Eastern Oklahoma

By: News On 6

A total lunar eclipse turned the moon a reddish hue Tuesday morning over eastern Oklahoma.

The so-called "blood moon" happens when the earth passes between the sun and the moon, creating a shadow on the moon's surface.

This eclipse between 2 a.m. and 3:30 a.m. marked the beginning of a tetrad, a series of four total lunar eclipses in a row.

The next three total eclipses will occur on October 8, 2014, April 4, 2015, and on September 28, 2015.

NewsOn6.com users submitted several photos of the eclipse on our SHARE page and on our FACEBOOK page.
