Default Total eclipse of the moon tonight

All times are Pacific Standard Time:

6:14 PM - Partial eclipse begins
7:23 PM - Totality begins
8:45 PM - Totality ends
8:54 PM - Partial eclipse ends

The red color of the moon you will see during totality is reflected light from sunrises and sunsets ringing the earth.

It will be seen all across the NA continent... the times vary.

I'm on it George... I only hope I can see it. Heavy overcast here right now. Evenings often (usually?) clear.

Woohoo! Sky stuff.

Cleared up a bit here... might not hold all the way through though. Trying to figure out multi-expose on my camera.
