'Blood moon' will be sight to behold during total lunar eclipse

There will be a total lunar eclipse Tuesday that will turn the moon a burnt reddish orange, the CNN reported, citing NASA.

It's called a blood moon, and this one is just the first in a series of four consecutive total eclipses.

Within a year and a half, North America will be able to see a blood moon a total of four times. The moon takes on this color during the eclipse as it passes through the Earth's shadow, which is the color of a desert sunset.

The four blood moons will occur in roughly six-month intervals on the following dates: April 15, 2014; October 8, 2014; April 4, 2015, and September 28, 2015.
