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 Australia and eastern Asia, the eclipse will occur in late evening or near midnight local time, and this is where the moon will be highest in the sky. The year's next eclipse will be on the night of July 27, or the wee hours of July 28 depending on the time zone, and the center of the eclipse visibility region is on the Indian Ocean.
