When the sun, Earth and
moon are exactly lined up, a lunar eclipse happens. The Earth blocks off
the sunlight that usually lights up the moon. The moon has a reddish
glow. "Lunar" comes from "Luna", the Latin word for
moon. A lunar eclipse can last up to three and one-half hours.
Special thanks to Mr. Lengel, a 5th grade parent, for taking the photos. |
