The next blood moon is coming up in 2014, and it will be visible in most of the United States.
The blood moon will happen on Wednesday, October 8 along with a lunar eclipse.
The blood moon is a moon that can turn red or orange.
The blood moon is the second in “an extraordinary series of lunar eclipses,” according to the United States space agency, NASA.
The first took place in April of this year. The third is slated for April 4, 2015; and the fourth September 28, 2015.
This series is referred to by experts as a lunar eclipse tetrad.

“The most unique thing about the 2014-2015 tetrad is that all of them are visible for all or parts of the USA,” said longtime NASA eclipse expert Fred Espenak in a post on the agency’s website.
The times are slated as follows--the partial eclipse begins at 5:18 a.m. EDT, with the full eclipse beginning at about an hour later at 6:27 a.m.
The maximum eclipse is set for 6:55 a.m., with the full eclipse ending at 7:22 a.m. Sunrise will take place at 7:57 a.m.
