This week is the longest lunar eclipse in hundreds of years.
NASA said the lunar eclipse is expected to last from Thursday to Friday.
NASA said on its website that the moon will pass through the southern part of the Earth's shadow for a lunar eclipse.
The eclipse will last 3 hours, 28 minutes and 23 seconds, making it the longest in centuries.
There will be a small portion of the moon visible during the eclipse. As the sun and moon pass opposite sides of the planet, most of the moon will disappear into the Earth's shadow.
The moon should appear to be reddish-brown as it slips into the shadow.
The eclipse will be visible in many parts of the world, including North America, eastern Australia, New Zealand and Japan.
The partial eclipse begins on the East Coast at 2 a.m. and lasts until 4 a.m., according to NASA. "For observers on the West Coast, that means starting at 11 pm and ending at 1 a.m."
