LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — We will be treated to a rare celestial sight early next week here in the Las Vegas valley.
Overnight Monday, technically early Tuesday morning, a "blood moon" total lunar eclipse will be visible in Las Vegas.
What makes it a blood moon? The full moon will pass through Earth's shadow from 3 a.m. through 4 a.m., giving the moon a red hue.
We will be able to see this looking to the southwest, and we are forecasting a clear sky, with temperatures in the mid-50s and northwest breezes around 5-15 mph.
If you don't think you'll be able to see the sky for that specific hour on March 3, the partial eclipse will begin as early as 2 a.m. and last through 5 a.m., giving those late-night owls or early morning risers a chance to see it.
