The partial eclipse, when the moon appears to move into the umbra and part of the moon inside the umbra will appear very dark, will occur just before 10:30 p.m. ET.

This combination of pictures shows the moon in various stages of the Super Blood Moon total lunar eclipse in Christchurch, New Zealand, May 26, 2021.Residents in the eastern half of the U.S. and all of South America will be able to observe each stage of the lunar eclipse, and totality will be visible in much of Africa, western Europe, Central and South America and most of North America, according to NASA.A dark environment away from bright lights will make for the best viewing conditions.

Rayleigh scattering, the same phenomenon that gives the sky its blue color and makes sunsets red, is what causes the moon to turn red during the eclipse. Red light, which has longer wavelengths than blue light, is seen during a lunar eclipse because the only sunlight reaching the moon passes through Earth's atmosphere, according to NASA."It's as if all the world's sunrises and sunsets are projected onto the Moon," according to the administration.
