A lunar eclipse happens when the Earth's shadow covers the moon, making it look like it disappears!
When the moon was completely covered, the sun still shows on the shadow, making it look RED! This is called a "Blood Moon."
Before we had technology to help us study the sky, some civilizations thought that the moon was getting eaten by an animal such as a jaguar, pig, or toad in the sky!!!
Check out the video below for a sped up version of the lunar eclipse!!!
