Tonight's wide Moon is going to glide through Earth's shadow, producing a 90-minute partial lunar eclipse visible from eastern Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. Only 19% of the Moon will be in deep shadow, but that's enough for a pretty display. Maximum eclipse takes place at 1851 UT on Sept. 7th

There will be a partial lunar eclipse tonight, but we will not be able to view it from North America. See Nasa's web site for those countries from which the eclipse can be viewed.

If you live just about anywhere but the Americas you should be able to see a partial eclipse of the moon.
Typically when we talk about an eclipse of the moon we mean it is visible from Earth, the Earth is casting its shadow on it so it wouldn't be very visible from anywhere else. (From the moon it would be an occultation but that's another issue).
The time will depend on where you are... here is a link with universal times and a brief discription of the path

There will be a partial lunar eclipse tonight, but you need to be in Europe to get a good look.

Yes there will be an eclipse but I have no idea what time it will be. You will be able to see it if it is not cloudy. Apparently it's only a partial eclipse.
