\"\"A total lunar eclipse will happen tonight.<\/p>\n

That’s when the moon moves into Earth\u2019s shadow, giving the moon a deep red hue for several hours overnight. That\u2019s why it\u2019s known as the Blood Moon. Lunar eclipses happen when the moon, Earth and sun align just so. The Earth casts a shadow that can partially or totally block out the moon.<\/p>\n

Lunar and solar eclipses happen anywhere from four to seven times a year, according to NASA. The Blood Moon will be visible for about an hour starting at 2:26 a.m. on Friday morning. Peak viewing will be close to 3 a.m. No need for eclipse glasses or any special equipment.<\/p>\n

Teens can ignore TikTok\u2019s initial 10PM reminder, it will display another prompt that\u2019s harder to dismiss.<\/p>\n
