DES MOINES, Iowa —Thursday night’s full moon brought a colorful treat back to Iowa and much of the Western Hemisphere — a total lunar eclipse.

For the first time since November 2022, Iowans were able to see the moon slip fully into Earth’s shadow and turn that eerie red color.

It started with a partial eclipse beginning at 12:09 a.m. Friday and by 1:26 a.m. the moon was fully obscured.

The reddish hue is thanks to Earth’s atmosphere scattering sunlight and sending colors with longer wavelengths (red and orange) into the shadow.

The moon appeared normal again by 3:47 a.m.
