Total lunar eclipse expected during Wednesday's sunrise

Early risers can expect to see a rare sight, a total lunar eclipse that coincides with the sunrise on

Wednesday morning. It should start to become visible around 3:25 a.m.

NASA expects the sight to be colorful, even from cities with lots of artificial light.

The moon will turn a dim red, because of sunlight scattered through the earth's atmosphere.

There will also be a band of turquoise visible just before the moon is fully eclipsed by the earth's shadow.
