A full moon, nature is Ozambic, and shoulder pads are back. It's the news you didn't know you needed in our new weekly segment.

Anything but politics. I'm Jenna, and this is smarter news.

Well, welcome back to our new weekly segment. We just launched it last week.

But we liked it so much, we decided to bring it back.

And the reason why we did is that it feels like when it comes to the news and quite frankly,

so many conversations these days, everything has to do with politics.

And we thought to ourselves, you know what we want to talk about at the end of the week?

Anything but politics. Because there's a lot of

interesting headlines that just don't get attention because there's just so much going on. So I have a

And NASA does a much better job

explaining why it happens. So let's take a listen. So a total lunar eclipse happens when the

sun, the earth, and the moon are aligned. Every year or year and a half, we get a total

lunar eclipse where the moon passes through the center of the earth's shadow,

and every part of the moon is blocked from the sun.

The best thing about a lunar eclipse is that it's beautiful.

So the moon during totality will turn shades of orange and red and brown.

It's being hit by all of the sunrises and sunsets projected from the earth.

So the moon appears that sort of reddish hue, and that's why we refer to this moon at this time of a year during this lunar eclipse as a blood moon.

We also can refer to this full moon as a worm moon, because apparently this is when earthworms surface.
