How to use altitude & direction to find in the sky
The curvature of the shadow's path and the apparent rotation of the Moon's disk is due to the Earth's rotation.
This total lunar eclipse was fully visible in °±ô²¹¾±±èÄ—»å²¹. The total lunar eclipse is someÂ鶹ӳ» called a blood moon, as the Moon turns red.
