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.
Totality, the time when Earth's shadow completely covers the moon, will start at 2:41 a.m. and lasts 72 minutes. Roughly 3:15 a.m. will prove to be the best time to view the eclipse. NASA reports the eclipse will then be at its peak and the moon will display the most brilliant shade of coppery red.
