Want to see a total lunar eclipse? Then look towards the sky tonight at 7.30pm. The forecast is looking good with the MetService forecasting mostly fine weather for Bay of Plenty people wanting to view the eclipse. Tauranga Astronomical Society president David Greig said a blood moon was when the full moon passed through the shadow cast by the Earth, causing the moon to change to a coppery red colour. Greig told SunLive the eclipse would be visible from Rotorua as well as Tauranga.
