A total eclipse of the moon is visible from virtually every continent on Earth on the night of March 3rd / 4th. The table below gives times as UT (universal time), which is the same as GMT or UK winter time. I'll include the conversion to EST and PST timings.
Partial Eclipse Begins: 21:30:22 UT / 4.30pm EST / 1.30 pm PST
Total Eclipse Begins: 22:44:13 UT / 5.44pm EST / 2.44pm PST
Greatest Eclipse: 23:20:56 UT / 6.20pm EST / 3.20pm PST
Total Eclipse Ends: 23:57:37 UT / 6.57pm EST / 3.57pm PST
Partial Eclipse Ends: 01:11:28 UT / 8.11pm EST / 5.11pm PST
Further details from the NASA website.
North America
EST = UT - 5 hours
CST = UT - 6 hours
MST = UT - 7 hours
PST = UT - 8 hours
Obviously, if the sun is still up, the eclipse will not be visible, and I have serious doubts whether the western states in the USA will be seeing much of it.
Let's hope for some clear skies!
Yeah, let's hope we don't get cloud cover as so often happens when we want to see something! Jeannette xx http://journals.aol.co.uk/jlocorriere05/Welcometomytravels/

ReplyDeleteGee, at 6:20 pm EST, that will be only 5:20 pm CST.....I don't think the moon will even be over the pine trees by then. Marking it on my calander to look anyway. - Barbara
