'Blood Moon' Full Lunar Eclipse 2014 Watch Live Stream [Online]: Celestial Wonder Infiltrates Night Sky Early Wednesday (October 8), Fun NASA Facts For Star Gazers

A magnificent full lunar eclipse will take place early Wednesday morning, October 8 (2014). Some avid star gazers will not have a clear view of this epic "Blood Moon" - but no worries, Slooh.com will provide timely, live streaming coverage of the celestial event!

This will be the second (and final) total lunar eclipse of the year. According to the experts over at Slooh:

"This eclipse will be difficult to view for most of the planet as it mainly takes place over the Pacific Ocean," Slooh said on its website. "As such, the eclipse will only be visible in its entirety from parts of eastern Australia, New Zealand, eastern Asia, most of Japan, Hawaiian Islands, and the western part of North America."

Awesomely extensive coverage of the eclipse will begin at 2 a.m. via Slooh. For those fans interested in even more "Blood Moon" fun, NASA will host an interesting web chat while the eclipse is actually in progress, featuring commentary and Q&As from scientists and experts within the field (via UStream):

According to Space.com, the eclipse will take place from approximately 3:25-4:24 a.m. PST (or 6:25-7:24 a.m. EST).

Some people use the term "Blood Moon," because during this transitional phase, the moon takes on a rather "copper-y" color. According to NASA, the lunar orb "shines with a rosy hue" instead of going black because it reflects light from the sun coming through the Earth's atmosphere.

Pretty neat stuff. Enjoy the show!
