Lunar Eclipse To Hit Skies

Louisianians looking up to the sky Monday night will see a total lunar eclipse. LSU Astronomy professor Brad Schaefer says a lunar eclipse will typically happen once a year and a partial eclipse is more common. He says a full eclipse, like the one Monday night, is unique. Schaefer says the eclipse can easily be seen with the naked eye but a pair of binoculars or a telescope would naturally improve the view. He says the eclipse will start after around 1:40am Tuesday morning and will continue until just before 3am.
