Montana had clear skies for a glimpse of the total lunar eclipse Tuesday morning. The total lunar eclipse happens when Earth passes between the sun and moon casting a shadow onto the moon, giving it that burnt orange or red color or what is called a "blood moon". The total lunar eclipse was seen between 4 a.m. and 5 a.m. Tuesday.
A total lunar eclipse only happens every 2 or 3 years. The next opportunity to see one in Montana will be on June 26th, 2029.
