Starting January 16, 2019

"The Moon passes into the Earth's shadow and that red colour really is the atmosphere of our Earth covering the light to bed. So you're actually seeing the sunrise and the sunset of the Earth simultaneously." - Brad Tucker, Astrophysicist at the Australian National University 

This weekend you will get one of the best chances to see a total lunar eclipse, a spectacular astronomical event during which the moon turns red – and is therefore also known as a blood moon. The eclipse during the evening of  January 20 will last for several hours, with the spectacular red-colored totality lasting about an hour in the middle of the event. It caps a weekend full of music, art and cooking events you'll find as you read on. And don't forget to check out the Plan Ahead section to get in on some great upcoming activities! Happy Wanderings!
