The blood moon phase will be visible across swathes of North America before dawn on March 3.

A Blood Moon will appear in the morning sky on Tuesday morning, according to NASA.

The massive rocket that will propel four astronauts into deep space had to be moved off the launchpad for repairs.

NASA is in the process off rolling its towering Artemis 2 moon rocket back to its hangar after more than a month at Launch Complex-39B at the Kennedy Space Center due to a helium system issue.

NASA, meanwhile, must delay until at least April its plan to send four astronauts on a lunar fly-by on the Artemis II mission.
