What you’ll see
During a total lunar eclipse the Moon passes completely inside Earth’s umbra — the dark core of its shadow. Sunlight bending through Earth’s atmosphere still reaches the Moon, stripped of its blue wavelengths, which is why a totally eclipsed Moon glows deep orange-red: the light of every sunrise and sunset on Earth, cast onto the Moon at once. Unlike a solar eclipse it is perfectly safe to watch with the naked eye, and visible from the entire night side of Earth.
The Moon Explorer app computes this eclipse’s circumstances for your exact location — local times, moonrise and moonset around the event — entirely offline, and can remind you the day before and on the day.
