The moon rises again.
Sky watchers in the eastern half of the U.S. are in for a treat this weekend.
May's full flower moon will have a total lunar eclipse as it passes through the Earth's shadow on Sunday and Monday. This will make the moon appear to turn red.
This full moon will be at its closest point to Earth this month, making it a super moon.
We are in for a total lunar eclipse.
The eastern half of the United States and all of South America will be able to watch the total lunar eclipse. It will be visible in Africa, Western Europe, Central and South America, and most of North America, according to NASA.
If you want to see better, go to a dark place that is away from bright lights. You should be able to enjoy the spectacle without any special equipment, but you should bring a telescope or binoculars to help enhance the view and get an eyeful of the moon.
NASA recommends using a camera on a tripod with several seconds of exposure to take photos.
If overcast skies or rain prevent you from seeing the lunar eclipse, NASA will live-stream it from locations around the world.
You can watch the live stream here or on NASA's Facebook page.

The dark part of the moon within the umbra will start to appear as the moon enters the dark part of the Earth's shadow. The moon looks like a bite is being taken out of it. Between 10:24 and 11:29 pm, this will occur. There is an error in the text.
