Because of time zones Totality will happen at different times depending on your location.
Hawaii will get a GREAT show, but if you re east of the Mississippi you ll only get a partial eclipse.
Total lunar eclipses happen because every 2.5 years the orbits align so the Earth is exactly between the sun and the moon.
When that happens our planet s shadow or UMBRA falls entirely across the face of the moon turning it a shade of rusty pink for about 15 minutes.
That said, the full eclipse can take HOURS, as the edges of our shadow or PENUMBRA slowly overtakes the moon.
So, hit the sky early and enjoy the show and KEEP LOOKIN UP!
