It doesn't rank nearly as "cool" or visually stunning as a total solar eclipse, but a total lunar eclipse is still a very fun and easy-to-view event. Tonight's lunar eclipse of the Worm Moon is positioned perfectly across the United States allowing for nearly everyone to get a view.

A total lunar eclipse will flush the moon red Thursday night into Friday morning across the country including Boston, where viewers will have to hope for a break in the clouds to see the spectacle.

The first total lunar eclipse in more than two years lit up the sky last night as humanity, forever fascinated with the Earth’s only natural satellite, watched.
