Some of you may not know, but early Saturday morning there was a lunar eclipse. This eclipse will be the last lunar eclipse we will be able to see for 3 years. The eclipse was not too visible here in the eastern United States (because of the location and cloudy skies), but it was much more visible on the West Coast. A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes directly behind the earth. When this happens, the sun's rays are blocked by the Earth from reaching the moon therefore casting a shadow on the moon.
