1 00:00:02,168 --> 00:00:06,840 Turn around, bright eyes because there s A TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE MOON coming next week to the West 2 00:00:06,940 --> 00:00:13,346 Coast on May 26! Here s what you need to know The full eclipse will happen at exactly 11:11 UTC 3 00:00:13,446 --> 00:00:18,785 or 4:11am Pacific time. Snap a pic of the screen! Because of time zones Totality 4 00:00:18,885 --> 00:00:23,656 will happen at different times depending on your location. Hawaii will get a GREAT show, 5 00:00:23,757 --> 00:00:27,260 but if you re east of the Mississippi you ll only get a partial eclipse. 6 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:31,898 Total lunar eclipses happen because every 2.5 years the orbits align so the Earth 7 00:00:31,998 --> 00:00:36,703 is exactly between the sun and the moon. When that happens our planet s shadow or UMBRA falls 8 00:00:36,803 --> 00:00:41,508 entirely across the face of the moon turning it a shade of rusty pink for about 15 minutes. 9 00:00:41,608 --> 00:00:46,946 That said, the full eclipse can take HOURS, as the edges of our shadow or PENUMBRA slowly 10 00:00:47,047 --> 00:00:51,047 overtakes the moon. So, hit the sky early and enjoy the show and KEEP LOOKIN UP!
