Stargazers in Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia had a clear view of a total lunar eclipse that occurred Sunday night. A lunar eclipse occurs when the sun, moon and Earth align, and the moon passes into Earth's shadow, according to NASA. In a total lunar eclipse, the moon falls within the darkest part of Earth's shadow, creating a reddish hue. For this reason, a total lunar eclipse is sometimes called a "blood moon."
