Early on Tuesday morning, 15 April, there was a total eclipse of the moon, which became a red and orange color, known as the Blood Moon.
This eclipse was the first of a series of four consecutive “Blood Moons” which will happen roughly once every six months in the Dominican Republic, with the next one being on Wednesday 8 October this year, followed by Saturday 4 April 2015 and Sunday 27 September 2015.
The event began officially in the country at 0:55am when the moon began to take on its strange color with the total eclipse starting at 3am, and lasting until 4am.
