ATLANTA (AP) - The full moon is expected to turn brick red for more than hour Thursday in a lunar eclipse visible throughout the Americas. The celestial event, the first lunar eclipse since September 1996 that will be visible throughout the continental United States, kicks off a busy eclipse year in the nation. A second total lunar eclipse will be visible July 16 over the U.S. West Coast. And a partial solar eclipse will be visible over all of North America on Christmas Day, with about 60% of the sun briefly blotted out by the moon's shadow over Canada. The degree of eclipse will decrease southward, and only about 5% of the sun will be eclipsed to viewers in Texas. Thursday night, the moon will be covered by the Earth's shadow starting at 11:05 p.m. EST, an eclipse phase known as totality.
