When to look up depends on where you are.
North America, the Pacific, Australia and Asia will be able to see the eclipse, which is called the Beaver Blood Moon lunar eclipse. The full moon will pass through the Earth's shadow as it moves behind the sun, giving it a bloody color. The total lunar eclipse can be watched for free on Space.com, thanks to several webcasts from observatories across the United States.
The eclipse will start at 3:02 a.m. on Tuesday. When the moon enters the shadow of Earth. It begins at 12:02 a.m. and you have to change the time for your time zone. Observers on the U.S. West Coast can use the PST. The official start of the lunar eclipse can be hard to see as the Earth's penumbral shadow is very slight.
There's a guide to seeing the lunar eclipse.
The effect of the lunar eclipse is subtle, according to NASA.
The partial eclipse will start at 4:09 a.m. The time lasts just over an hour. The dark part of the Earth's shadow is when the moon enters. You should be able to see the penumbral eclipse with your eyes.
As the moon moves into the umbra, it looks like a bite is being taken out of the lunar disk, according to NASA.
