April 2014 Lunar Eclipse
A total lunar eclipse will occur on the morning of April 15, 2014, the first of two total lunar eclipses of the year. This eclipse begins a series of four total eclipses, with a difference of about six months, called tetralogy of eclipses or later Eclipses Moons blood.1 tetrad will be those of October 8, 2014, April 4, 2015 and September 28, 2015.
The eclipse will be visible on April 15 in the Pacific Ocean, including Australia, and North and South. The moon will pass south of the center of the shadow of the Earth. As a result, the northern part of the moon will be noticeably darker than the southern part. It will happen during the upward phase of the orbit of the moon, part of Lunar Saros 122.
