A celestial event is set to occur Thursday night, with a significant portion of the moon being shrouded in shadow. This happens when the Earth comes between the sun and the moon. The shadow cast will have a distinct reddish orange hue due to the way light is scattered by the Earth's atmosphere.

The event will be widely visible, with people in North and South America able to see it. It follows a recent total solar eclipse that was seen in another part of the world.

Further details about the event, including the percentage of the moon that will be in shadow, are available from the source.
