Step outside Sunday night and you’ll be able to catch a glimpse of the total lunar eclipse.
Late in the evening, the full moon is slated to pass directly into Earth’s shadow cast by the sun, illuminating the moon a brilliant red. According to NASA, the moon will begin to enter Earth’s shadow – also known as the umbra – around 10:30 p.m. ET on Sunday. Totality – or the period when the moon is fully immersed in Earth’s shadow – will begin at about 11:30 p.m. ET and last for roughly an hour and a half.
The eclipse will end just before 2 AM on Sunday morning. You can view a lunar eclipse with your naked eye but you may want to use a telescope or binoculars to get a better view.
NASA will be live streaming the eclipse.
