The show will begin at 10:33 p.m. local time with the partial eclipse slowly casting a growing shadow on the moon. Maximum viewing will occur just after midnight, around 12:12 a.m., when there will be a red hue on 96 percent of the moon’s surface.
The shadow and red color is due to the Earth getting between the sun and the moon. Unlike a solar eclipse, where the moon is between the Earth and the sun, this one will be safe to view without eye protection.

We could have some clouds to deal with during the event. But hopefully there’ll be enough breaks to see the phenomena.
