A blood moon will dominate the sky across much of the world tonight when the earth's natural satellite moves into the shadow of our planet for the longest lunar eclipse of the 21st Century. The total lunar eclipse will last 1 hour, 42 minutes and 57seconds. It will be preceded and followed by a partial eclipse, which means the moon will spend a total of 3 hours and 54 minutes in the earth's umbral shadow, according to NASA. Also, tonight is a blood moon, which appears orange, brown or crimson as sunlight is bent through the earth's atmosphere. Meteorologist Azwi Tuwani joins us now to explain what we can expect.
