Known as a blood moon, it will appear a reddish-orange from the light of Earth’s sunsets and sunrises.
The total lunar eclipse will be visible throughout North America in the predawn hours — the farther west, the better — and across Asia, Australia and the rest of the Pacific after sunset. As an extra treat, Uranus will be visible just a finger’s width above the moon, resembling a bright star.
At the peak of the eclipse, the moon will be 242740 miles away, according to NASA scientists. Binoculars and telescopes will enhance viewing, provided the skies are clear.
