Yahoo! News - Stargazers Enjoy Total Lunar Eclipse
BALTIMORE - Astronomy buffs and amateur stargazers turned out to watch a total lunar eclipse Wednesday night — the last one Earth will get for nearly two and a half years.

With the Earth passing directly between the sun and the moon, the only light hitting the full moon was from the home planet's sunrises and sunsets, resulting in an orange and red hue.

The next total eclipse of the moon will not be until March 2007.
