If you ever gaze up at the full moon and think, “It’s OK, I guess, but when does it do something?” May is your month. Most of North America will be treated to a full lunar eclipse, a complete “blood moon,” this month. You can watch the entire show in most of North America, all of South America and Western Africa, and parts of Western Europe late on May 15 and into May 16. The action begins at 9:31PM ET on May 15 with peak eclipse occurring at 12:02AM ET on May 16.
