The spectacle is slotted during sunrise for most of the Americas, late morning for western Europe and Africa and afternoon for eastern Europe and northern Asia.Watch the moon turn red during a total lunar eclipse During the eclipse, the sun will slowly slim to a crescent as the moon appears to cover it and the day may get dimmer. “It will feel like a particularly cloudy day,” said Juan Carlos Muñoz-Mateos with the European Southern Observatory. Check weather conditions before heading outside. Clear skies away from tall buildings and city lights are best, especially in the Americas where the sun may be rising during the eclipse. Grab eclipse glasses ahead of time to spot the sight safely through a local science museum or ordering online from a seller cleared on the American Astronomical Society’s website. Viewers can also enjoy the spectacle through indirect ways such as making a pinhole projector using household materials. Holding up a colander will produce a similar effect. Peering at the ground under a shady tree can yield crescent shadows as the sunlight filters through branches and leaves.
