When the moon passes through the Earth's shadow, it causes the moon to look very unusual for a short period of time. This event is called a lunar eclipse, and it occurs roughly twice a year. There's one viewable to folks OUTSIDE of North America on June 15, so sit back and learn more about how lunar eclipses work in this video!
A stereoscopic 3D version of this video is also available:
viewable by many kinds of 3D devices, including common red/blue paper glasses that you might have lying around!
