Within the United States, the East Coast will enjoy the longest view, but, even there, the Moon will rise already eclipsed. On the central East Coast, the Moon rises at about 5:45 P.M. EST. In Boston, it rises 15 minutes earlier, and in Miami, at 6:20 P.M., shortly before totality ends. Observers in the Central time zone will see the late stages of totality, which ends at 5:58 P.M. CST
The end of totality occurs just as the Moon rises for observers along a line from Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Mississippi, and south to the Louisiana coast near New Orleans. From the Mississippi River to the Rockies, observers will see a partial eclipse, when the Moon's bright left rim exits the dark umbra during the next hour. Farther west, skywatchers get a deep yellow moonrise after the partial phase has ended. They'll get their turn August 28, when the next total lunar eclipse occurs.
What color will the Moon turn at mideclipse? During past total eclipses, the Moon has turned brown, orange, crimson, and brick red. Lunar eclipses exhibit a range of shades because sunlight passing through Earth's atmosphere becomes scattered and reddened. It's this dim glow that fills Earth's shadow and lights the eclipsed Moon.
Лунное затмение завтра...
