SPACE.com: "TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE SATURDAY SHOULD BE COLORFUL" by Rbert Roy Britt (ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Those with fairly dark skies will be able to see the Moon, vaguely, even during totality. It is expected to take on an orange or reddish color as light from all the worlds sunsets and sunrises is bent through Earth's atmosphere and falls on the lunar surface, then is reflected back to Earth. To picture this, imagine standing on the Moon during this event: An astronaut there would see the Sun eclipsed by Earth, with a reddish halo created by light being bent through the atmosphere of the home planet. Because the Moon is near the edge of the shadow, the coloring effect should be greater than what occurred during the May 15 eclipse. The Moon may take on the sort of blood-red hue that frightened the ancients.") (November 7, 2003)
