While you were getting up this morning, a total lunar eclipse was taking place in Michiana’s western sky.  

Also called a “blood moon,” because of the red hue that emerges, the total lunar eclipse occurs when the earth is positioned between the sun and the moon.  The earth’s shadow then eclipses the full moon.
