Out West, the eclipse will be underway when the sun sets. “No two eclipses are the same,” Beatty says. “Keep an eye out for changes in color as the moon passes through that shadow.”Prior to understanding how eclipses work, ancient people worried the moon wouldn’t come back, Beatty says. And on his third voyage, Christopher Colombus intimidated Indigenous people by correctly predicting a total lunar eclipse.
“I like [the eclipse] because it literally is showing the moon moving along in its orbit,” Beatty says. “We get to watch the clockwork of the solar system in action.”
