A total lunar eclipse happens when the earth passes directly between the moon and the sun, casting a shadow on the moon's surface.
There will be another total lunar eclipse in November, but, according to The Associated Press, Colorado likely won't be a great place to see it. Europe and Africa will have the best views of that eclipse, the AP says.
Another eclipse will take place in 2025, the outlet reports.
