Overview
- NASA’s schedule places totality roughly 6:04–7:03 a.m. ET, with the overall event running about 3:44–9:23 a.m. ET.
- Best views fall across North and Central America, East Asia, Australia and the Pacific, with no visibility in Africa or Europe.
- Viewers on the U.S. East Coast may catch a rare selenelion as the eclipsed moon sets near sunrise due to atmospheric refraction.
- India’s meteorological agency characterizes the event as a deep total eclipse (magnitude 1.155), though many locations there have only a short window near moonrise.
- The moon’s reddish hue arises as Earth’s atmosphere filters sunlight toward the lunar surface, and the eclipse is safe to watch without eye protection.
