Lunar Eclipse to Veil Moon Red in Predawn Hours of Wednesday

In the predawn hours of Oct. 8, early risers and restless souls weary from insomnia are in for a rare spectacle as the Hunter's Moon glows a coppery red, and is veiled by Earth's great shadow. 

Wednesday's total lunar eclipse, set to begin a little after 5 a.m. EDT, will be the second of four consecutive "blood moons" to be visible in the United States during a two-year time span.

DYI Comment:  I'll be getting up early; this will be a sight to be seen!
