The State Museum will be holding a special event for the coming lunar eclipse.<\/p>\n
From May 15 through the early hours of May 16, a Lunar Eclipse will be visible in Columbia’s night sky. The museum is opening its doors after hours to observe the astronomical event.<\/p>\n
The next total lunar eclipse visible for the area will not occur until 2025.<\/p>\n
The lunar eclipse will begin around 10:30 pm and, weather permitting, guests will be able to see the “blood Moon” turn a dark red color as it travels through the Earth’s shadow.<\/p>\n
The Boeing Observatory and select exhibition galleries, including Apollo 16 & Beyond: South Carolina in Space, will also be open for guests to explore.<\/p>\n
