A spectacular lunar event will loom large in the sky tomorrow morning. It’s a super blue blood moon featuring a total eclipse. Super because it’s close to the earth, blue because it’s the second full moon this month, and Tulsa Planetarium Director Bob Ferguson explains why it’s also called a blood moon…volcanic ash and other items in the Earth’s atmosphere will make the moon appear orange-red.
The moon will be visible west-northwest of Tulsa. The eclipse begins at 5:48 with eclipse totality to begin at 6:52am. The moon will set just before 7:30.
