Strong trade winds pushed cloud cover aside so that many residents on the Big Island had a chance to view some, if not all, of the moon going into and out of the total lunar eclipse Monday-Tuesday (April 14-15, 2014).

When the moon is in the totality of the eclipse it’s nicknamed the ‘Blood Moon’ due to the coloring of the moon during the event.

If you missed it don’t worry as there will be another lunar eclipse Oct. 8, 2014 and should be visible from Hawaii.
