A lunar eclipse will make September's full moon appear red this weekend... depending on where you are.

Lunar eclipses, the opposite of solar eclipses, happen when the Earth is positioned between the full moon and sun. The red glow is creates earns these types of eclipses the title of "blood moon."

The main show, a total eclipse, will be visible in Asia — from Saudi Arabia to the Philippines, as far north as the Arctic Ocean all the way down to Antarctica — as well as parts of East Africa and the western half of Australia. The rest of Africa and Australia, as well as Europe, will be treated to some but not all of the action. Tidbits will be visible from the Brazilian coast and part of Alaska.

The eclipse will not be seen in the United States since its peak illumination will be at 2 p.
