I know it should be visible. I just can't seem to figure out the time difference from the NASA website.

In case you don't want to figure all of that out (above)... For Tasmania the moon will be fully eclipsed when it rises, then you'll get to watch as it 'finishes' eclipsing several hours later.
For people in the eastern United States, they have to wait until the moon sets to see the eclipse. Where I live in the mountain states, I won't get to see much of it at all, and that's if I want to get up before dawn.
