Cloud scuppered many people's plans to see last nights 'blood moon'. Here's when the next one will be, but you might have to wait a little while.

The Moon is rich in oxygen, iron and aluminum. It also has significant reserves of titanium. Helium 3 is the resource that generates the most interest. The solar wind has bombarded lunar soil for billions of years with this isotope. It is thus mixed with the regolith directly on the surface of the Moon. Helium 3 is a very good fuel for nuclear fusion. The Helium 3 resources there have been estimated at 100 thousand tons, which could supply energy for a few centuries in a fairly clean way.

On January 21, a total lunar eclipse defined by its blood-red hue is coming to the skies over the United States.
