Total lunar eclipse on Wednesday morning offers unusual twist

Because of the timing of the total lunar eclipse expected to be visible on Wednesday morning, observers might be able to see an unusual occurrence.  Occasionally, the eclipse occurs simultaneously with the sun rising.  The eclipse which is expected to occur between about 5:30 a.m. and 6:45 a.m. Wednesday morning might offer this event especially in areas of the U.S., like Minnesota and Iowa.  The moon will be totally immersed in the earth's shadow right before it sets, and the sun is coming up.  The totally eclipsed moon, which is sometimes referred to as a "blood moon" will resemble a weirdly illuminated red globe, if weather conditions are favorable.
