when will the moon be red tonight

The moon will appear red tonight due to a total lunar eclipse known as a "Blood Moon." This occurs when the moon passes through the Earth's shadow, and the red color arises because some sunlight, filtered through Earth's atmosphere, bends and illuminates the moon with a reddish hue. The total lunar eclipse will begin while the moon is still below the horizon in some places, but at notable locations like the UK, the total eclipse phase will be visible as the moon rises around 7:30 PM local time and continues until approximately 9:52 PM. The event will be fully visible across parts of eastern Africa, the Middle East, much of Asia, and western Australia. During the eclipse, the moon will progressively darken and turn a deep red color, peaking in its red glow around the middle of this time window. This "Blood Moon" phenomenon tonight will provide a striking sight of the moon bathed in a vivid crimson shade due to Earth's shadow, with the redness caused by atmospheric scattering of sunlight.
