C.J. Bernard says moon will start to dim, turn red at around 5:50 a.m.

New Brunswickers will wake up to a morning treat on Tuesday — a lunar eclipse.
But the event will only be witnessed by early risers. Amateur astronomer C.J. Bernard of Neqotkuk, or Tobique First Nation, will be one of them.
Bernard said something interesting about this eclipse, which will only be partially seen in New Brunswick, is that, for a short period during it, the sun will be rising, causing a phenomenon known as a selenelion.
“These two don’t like to share the sky,” he said.
