The Best Way To Watch the "Blood Moon" Tonight

Posted by samzenpus on Monday April 14, 2014 @04:27AM from the good-omens dept.

An anonymous reader writes "People on the West Coast should be able to watch the beginning of the upcoming total lunar eclipse tonight at 10:20 pm. The entirety of the moon surface will be in Earth's shadow and start to glow red a couple hours later, a little after midnight. From the article: 'A lunar eclipse occurs when the sun, moon, and Earth align so that Earth's shadow falls across the moon's surface. Monday night's lunar eclipse is a total eclipse, which means Earth's shadow will cover the moon completely. The moon won't be blacked out by our planet's shadow. Instead, it will take on a reddish hue — anywhere from a bright copper to the brownish red of dried blood.'"

Any Christian pastor that claims to know the time of the end of the world hasn't read their Bible carefully enough.

"Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows."
- Mark 13:31-32
