Overview
- Totality will be visible across parts of North America, eastern Asia and Australia, with the Pacific Northwest, West Coast, Hawaii and parts of the Southwest offering the strongest U.S. prospects.
- East Coast viewers face a race to the horizon as totality starts around 6:04 a.m. ET and the Moon sets shortly afterward in many locations, including New York City.
- The full event spans roughly five and a half hours from first shadow contact to exit, according to TimeandDate.
- Lunar eclipses require no eye protection, and dark-sky locations markedly deepen the red hue and reveal more surrounding stars than light‑polluted urban sites.
- Tourism operators are packaging the event, with Oregon’s Brasada Ranch promoting dark‑sky viewing, guided outings with Wanderlust Tours and on‑site amenities.
