Ideal viewing time for the blood moon should be midnight.

The eclipse itself will require some patience and late-night stamina from sky watchers, only beginning at 10:58 p.m. PT. The moon will fully enter Earth’s shadow and get tinged red starting a little after midnight PT, returning to its normal color about an hour and a half later.



NASA’s Marshal Space Flight Center will have live feeds and expert commentary at the video below, starting at 10:00 p.m. PT
