If you missed April�s total eclipse of the moon, now�s your chance.But you�ll need to get up early. But don�t bother if you are in Africa. It also will be visible across Australia and much of Asia. Only Europe, Africa and the eastern tip of Brazil won�t get the show. Wednesday morning, if the skies are clear, North Americans will have prime viewing of a full lunar eclipse, especially in the West. The full moon will be obscured by Earth�s shadow in the predawn hours. The total eclipse will last an hour � until sunrise on the East Coast. The moon will appear orange or red, the result of sunlight scattering off Earth�s atmosphere. That�s why it�s called a blood moon. There�ll be two full lunar eclipses again next year.
