Viewer's guide: Total lunar eclipse on Wed. - USATODAY.com


Viewer's guide: Total lunar eclipse on Wed. - USATODAY.com: "Local conditions

The only problematic area will be along the Oregon and northern California coast, where the first partial stage of the eclipse will already be underway when the moon rises and the sun sets on Wednesday evening. But if you have an open view low to the east, even this situation will only add to the drama, for as twilight fades, these far-Westerners will see the shadow-bitten moon coming into stark view low above the landscape. And by late twilight observers will have a fine view of the totally eclipsed lunar disk glowing red and dim low in the eastern sky."
