The moon briefly turned red during the night of Feb. 20, during a full lunar eclipse. According to space.com, it will be the last "full" eclipse until the year 2010. An eclipse is when the sun's reflection is bent on the Earth's atmosphere or the moon moves directly in front of the sun blocking out any white reflected light.
