Tuesday's blood moon glows at 2:15 a.m. in the southern sky over Lawrence. The moon was eclipsed by the Earth's shadow early Tuesday, beginning around 1 a.m. EDT for 5 1/2 hours. For some, the moon appeared red-orange because of all the sunsets and sunrises shimmering from Earth, thus the name "blood moon." It's the first of four eclipses this year and the first of four total lunar eclipses this year and next.
