    The Earth’s shadow will begin to blot out the moon at 1:32 a.m. EST (10:32 p.m. PST). During totality, when the Earth is directly between the moon and the sun, the moon will turn a rusty orange-red for 72 minutes from 2:41 a.m. to 3:53 a.m. EST (11:41 p.m. to 12:53 a.m. PST).

    Sky watchers in Europe, West Africa and South America will see only part of the eclipse before it is interrupted by sunrise (see chart below). This is also the last time a total lunar eclipse will be visible from North America until April 2014.

    If you only want a quick glimpse of the eclipse (standing outside for four hours in December takes serious dedication), bundle up and look skyward mid-eclipse at 3:17 a.m. EST (12:17 a.m. PST), when the moon will be in deepest shadow and displaying its best coppery red hue.

    OMG I'm excited... I hope the clouds don't cover it lol.

    PST= Pacific standard time.

    I live in the northwest, so I'm gonna watch at ten thirty. .

    Good luck!!!

    I live in Mississippi and I have been waiting for the clouds to move but they won't :( I have been watching a live view on a website but it's not the same as if I were actually outside watching. Better than nothin I guess.
