While crossing from Leo into Virgo, our Moon will enter Earth’s shadows. There are a variety of shadings the Moon’s surface can have. This is dependent on the state of the Earth’s atmosphere. Join us if you can. This will be the last total lunar eclipse seen in its entirety from the Baton Rouge area for a long time! [For ages six and older. No admission fee.]
CLARIFICATION: This event begins late on Thursday night and ends early on Friday morning.
