See the "supermoon" total eclipse tonight!

For sky watchers in the Rocky Mountain states, partial eclipse begins at 7:11 pm local time, so look outside now!

For those of us on the West Coast of North America, moon rise occurs closer to sunset, in a little over 30 minutes. Here in the Eastern Sierra, local moon rise is around 6:44 pm and sunset is around 6:47 pm. The moon will clear the horizon to the east right around sunset, well into its partial eclipse phase, and be fully eclipsed from 7:11 – 8:23 pm.

See the Supermoon Total Lunar Eclipse Tonight!

  1. It's cloudy looking to the east where the lunar eclipse is happening now, but ironically we had a clearing to the west at sunset, a few minutes before the moon was going to rise, approaching total eclipse! I saw a glimpse of the nearly-eclipsed moon as it cleared the horizon, then it went behind thicker clouds. The clouds look thinner about 25-30 degrees off of the horizon, so I'll look for it through 8:23 pm as the total eclipse ends, possibly 9:27 pm when the partial eclipse ends.
