Join host Bob Zaltsberg as he talks with experts about everything you need to know to prepare for this historic occasion.

Known as a blood moon for its dark red hue, the phenomenon won’t occur for another three years.

A total lunar eclipse will be visible from Indiana starting Sunday. Astronomers say the eclipse will begin as a full moon rises late Sunday, ending shortly after midnight.

In 2020, a team of American scientists reported the first remotely sensed evidence of the mineral hematite on Earth's moon. The researchers made their discovery with a NASA instrument aboard the Indian space agency's Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft orbiting the moon.

It might sound odd, but scientists think Mars is going to have a ring around it in tens of millions of years. They're predicting that one of Mars' moons, Phobos, is going to break apart, and its particles are going to make a ring around Mars.

It's amazing how much light our moon reflects. Having a few mirrors doesn't hurt, though. They're there because of the Lunar Laser Ranging experiment.

The Apollo 11 mission that landed the first humans on the moon famously blasted off from Florida, but NASA was in Arizona, too. In 1967, two years before Neil Armstrong left his footprint in the lunar dust, engineers figured out a way to recreate the moon's surface . . . on Earth.

Just a few years before the Space Race, the people who would help win it were university students in Indiana with no plans of leaving the Earth.

When space is referred to as the “final frontier,” does that imply that we need to explore it to better control it or rather strive to understand it so to better control ourselves?
