The full moon will be covered in a blood-red shadow during a total lunar eclipse directly over Wyoming just after midnight March 14.
The moon will pass between the Earth and the sun, darkening its bright surface, and Wyomingites are in a perfect position to take it all in.
The peak of the total lunar eclipse will happen at 12:58 a.m., but the eclipse itself will be an all-night event, which means there will be plenty of opportunities for getting photos — provided the weather cooperates.
“I’ll be at Ponce Inlet on the east coast of Florida,” he said. “I’ve got a little scouting to do before I shoot.”
It doesn’t take an expert to see and get great photographs of a total lunar eclipse. All that’s needed is timing and clear skies, Bell said.
“They’re a piece of cake,” Bell said. “It’s a little like watching grass grow, and you’ll need to plan on being up late, but watching the whole thing unfold is a great experience.”
