The moon will appear darkened on the evening of July 4 as the moon passes through Earth’s shadow.
The penumbral lunar eclipse, where the face of the moon will appear to turn a darker silver color, will occur starting at 11:07 p.m EDT according to Space.com. The eclipse “maximum” will occur almost 30 minutes after midnight at 12:29 a.m. EDT on Sunday. The time of the eclipse will occur earlier in areas west of the Atlantic. On the west coast, the eclipse will likely only be visible at moonrise, which is 9:45 p.m. PDT.
The entire event will last nearly three hours according to Space.com.
The eclipse will not be visible in the northernmost regions of Canada and all of Alaska.
GLASTONBURY, UNITED KINGDOM – SEPTEMBER 27: The supermoon rises behind Glastonbury Tor on September 27, 2015 in Glastonbury, England. Tonight’s supermoon, so called because it is the closet full moon to the Earth this year, is particularly rare as it coincides with a lunar eclipse, a combination that has not happened since 1982 and won’t happen again until 2033.
