Tired of political ads, with their faux hunters, cowboys and saints? Well, get off your if’s and<\/span><\/font> but’s and head outdoors tomorrow night (Wed., Oct. 27) for a celestial treat — a lunar eclipse known<\/span><\/font> as the <\/font>Blood Moon<\/font><\/a> or Hunter’s Moon<\/em>. Totality will take place between 10:23 and 11:45 PM (EDT). <\/font><\/span><\/font>Below are a few lunar eclipse haiku, followed by info from NASA with folklore and facts.<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n
