Summary

For as long as humans have been watching the night sky, they noticed that every so often, during a full moon, the moon would briefly go dark, or at least change color. They often created mythical explanations for the event. Eventually, this ancient people began to record its occurrences and were able to calculate when it would happen. As we learned more about the universe, the explanation for the moon changing became less mythical and more scientific, but it was still a sight to behold. Learn more about lunar eclipses and how they work on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
