Hi CA!

It starts at 1:51 a.m. Pacific Time!

The eclipse officially starts at 1:51 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time tonight. If you start looking about 1:55, you'll start to see a bite being taken out of the lunar disc. Over the next hour the shadow spreads, until by 2:52 a,m. PDT the last of the bright moon disappears into the umbra.

Once totality has started, you'll notice the eclipsed moon appear a ghostly gray with a slight reddish tinge. The total portion of the eclipse lasts 1 hour 31 minutes, and at mid-eclipse the moon should be quite dark, but never too dark to see if the sky is clear.

At 4:23 a.m. PDT the moon begins to emerge from the earth's shadow, and you'll have another hour until 5:23 a.m. PDT, when the last of the lunar disc finally leaves the umbra.

not one of the eclipses would be seen there. there'll be a finished image voltaic eclipse on August a million, yet in basic terms seen over factors of Russia and China. The partial lunar eclipse on August sixteen would be seen basically over Europe and Africa, besides as slightly it seen over South u . s .. The Perseid meteor showers peaks on August 12, yet they are going to take place (much less in huge style) some days the two area of that date. superb thank you to view is to get remote from city lights furniture and seem in a regularly occurring northeasterly course. extra advantageous viewing circumstances are after night, while the rotation of the Earth contains you right into a extra advantageous place.

The full eclipse will start at about 5:50 EDT. So that will be about 2:50 PDT. I live in CDT so I have to go see it at 4:50.
