SEATTLE -- Usually Saturdays are made for sleeping in but if you want to get up super early this Saturday, you might just catch a lunar eclipse. Scientists expect totality - when the full moon is completely obscured by Earth's shadow - to last just several minutes, beginning at 4:57 a.m. PDT. Most of the eclipsed moon should appear reddish-orange.For the Seattle area, the moon will darken at 2:01 a.m. with the eclipse beginning at 3:15 a.m.The moon will be totally eclipsed for just 5 minutes -- from between 4:57 a.m. and 5:02 a.m. then will regain brightness until it's back to full circle of light at 6:44 a.m., right before it sets on the horizon. The weather is looking like decent odds the clouds will clear enough overnight to see it. Just look for the moon in the western horizon -- that is, if you want to get up that early.
So is it 2 a.m. or 5 a.m.?
Blood red moon. I hope the sky will let us see it.
