A total lunar eclipse will take place late Sunday evening into early Monday morning, with near perfect viewing conditions of the sky. Temperatures, however, won't be the greatest and you'll definitely want to make sure you bundle up if you plan on viewing the lunar eclipse.
According to Space.com, the moon Sunday night will go into total eclipse and will turn blood red. The next total eclipse isn't expected to happen
again until 2021, however those in North America will have to wait until 2022 for a blood moon to be visible from their location. Tonight's eclipse is occurring while the moon is near its closet point to the Earth, and will be at its closet point for the month.
If you plan on catching a glimpse of the total lunar eclipse, bundle up! It is going to be very cold with temperatures sitting right around zero degrees around 8pm/9pm, falling down to three below by 10pm. Wind chills will be as low as fifteen degrees below zero.
