DENVER â Sky watchers in Western North America are in for a treat: a nearly five-minute total lunar eclipse just before sunrise on Saturday. Starting at 4:16 a.m. Mountain Daylight Time, the moon will begin moving into Earthâs shadow. For the next hour and 45 minutes, that shadow will move across the moon and engulf it at 5:58 a.m. Mountain Time. The total eclipse will only last four minutes and 43 seconds, and NASA says that makes it the shortest one of the century.
In Cape Town, South Africa, the penumbral eclipse will start at 7:14 p.m. local time, with the umbral phase following at 8:24 p.m. Maximal eclipse occurs at 10:21 p.m.; by that point, the moon will have looked red for about 40 minutes. The umbral phase ends at 11:13 p.m. In parts of Australia, the moon will be setting as the eclipse progresses.
