Find out what time the lunar eclipse peaks in Houston and whether clouds will block Tuesday morning's blood moon.

“A lunar eclipse occurs when Earth passes directly between the Sun and Moon, casting a gigantic shadow across the lunar surface and turning the Moon a deep reddish-orange,” according to NASA. “This alignment can only occur during a full moon phase.”

On March 3, a total lunar eclipse will create a copper-red blood moon, with skywatchers across multiple regions able to witness the event.
