Blood moon: How to see the total lunar eclipse in California on Tuesday [JCAULTrshmY]

A total lunar eclipse will be visible to many in Northern California early Tuesday morning. A lunar eclipse is when the moon passes through the earth's shadow, causing the moon to dim and even turn a little orange to red. Because of the potential eerie red color, it is also called a blood moon. The skies will be clear but there is the potential for some Valley fog which could make it more difficult to see. For peak viewing, look west between 3 a.m. and 4 a.m. and enjoy the spectacle. KCRA 3 is your home for California breaking news and weather.
