Visible from much of North America, the moon was covered by the Earth\u2019s blood-red shadow in an event called the Super Blood Moon lunar eclipse. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon, Earth and sun are very closely aligned, with the Earth positioned between the two. These lunar events usually occur two to three times a year. Lunar eclipses have been rumored to affect human behavior, although there isn\u2019t a lot of solid research on that phenomenon. Though, these events have been documented to impact non-human animal behavior. Many animals depend on the moon and sun\u2019s rhythmic light-dark cycle. In fact, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/journals.plos.org\/plosone\/article?id=10.1371\/journal.pone.0012572\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> study in 2010<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> discovered that Azara\u2019s owl monkeys \u2013 a typically nocturnal species \u2013 stopped foraging in Argentina during a lunar eclipse as their world became suddenly darker. In Zimbabwe hippos have been <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">observed <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/sciencing.com\/animals-reaction-solar-eclipse-3503.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">leaving their rivers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> during an eclipse, to head towards their nocturnal feeding grounds on dry land.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0It is really quite amazing that we have total eclipses at all. The moon is at exactly the right distance from the earth to appear to be about the size of the sun, so it can completely block the light.\u00a0 The moon is moving farther away from the earth though, (about an inch and a half every year) so full eclipses aren\u2019t a permanent fixture of life on Earth. Right now we can feel the awe of witnessing this phenomena and connecting with our fellow Earthlings &#8211; monkeys, hippos and our fellow humans &#8211; in witnessing it from our blue planet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photo Credit: Muratart \/ Shutterstock \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Did you catch the lunar eclipse early this morning?
