There will be a near-total lunar eclipse tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Earth will move directly between the sun and the moon, blocking sunlight and casting its shadow across the lunar surface. Most of the moon will slip into that shadow and take on a deep red or copper colour \u2014 the effect that gives these events the nickname \u201cblood moon.\u201d The eclipse is safe to watch with the naked eye, so there\u2019s no need for special glasses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The partial eclipse begins around 10:33 p.m. The best time to look will be around 12:12 a.m. Friday, when about 96% of the moon will be covered by Earth\u2019s shadow. The partial eclipse wraps up around 1:51 a.m., although the more subtle penumbral phase continues until about 3:01 a.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marineland<\/a>\u2019s last dolphins are leaving Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four dolphins and two beluga whales left the Niagara Falls attraction Wednesday, headed for Spain. The move went smoothly, with no injuries reported. The dolphins \u2014 Echo, Lida, Marina and Tsunami \u2014 are the last captive dolphins in Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a setback in the relocation of Peekachu, a beluga that was moved to Chicago last month. The 23-year-old died suddenly Tuesday evening. She had shown signs of dehydration and was receiving supportive care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Six more belugas remain at Marineland and are expected to leave for the United States soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
