In the morning the full moon crosses the earth’s shadow, established the planetarium and is almost completely darkened from the surroundings.
“You may notice that the very bright moon begins to darken slightly a few minutes after midnight Central Standard Time,” said the planetarium.
According to experts, the partial phase of the solar eclipse begins at 1:18 a.m. and ends at 4:47 a.m. The maximum solar eclipse is expected at 3:02 a.m.
What this lunar eclipse will look like
“When the solar eclipse is at its maximum, almost the entire moon is within the boundaries of the earth’s darker umbra, so that only a thin sliver remains in the earth’s lighter penumbra,” added the planetarium.
Although experts are not sure what color this eclipse will be, historically the sighting can take on a gray, orange, or reddish hue.
