Low chances of lunar eclipse sighting in the area
A total lunar eclipse, also known as a blood moon, is happening early Tuesday morning. Though the positioning and timing are right for our region to view it, expected cloud cover and the possibility of rain will dim those chances, according to NBC Chicago.
However if the weather does cooperate, the natural phenomenon will start at around 2:44 a.m. and last until 6:26 a.m. It’s predicted the event will reach its totality peak at 5:33 a.m.
The region’s next chance to view a total lunar eclipse will be June 25, 2029.
