In case you are a little confused....your moon gazing should begin at 12:20 p.m. CDT. This is known as a penumbral eclipse... its subtle. The show gets more interesting at 12:58 p.m., when the partial eclipse begins. By 2:07 a.m., the entirety of the lunar surface will be in Earths shadow. It will be glowing red, because even though our planet is blocking out direct light from the sun, the light of all the sunsets and sunrises on Earth still make it to the lunar surface. The moon will stay completely immersed in Earths shadow until 3:25 a.m. If you are feeling heroic, you can keep watching as the moon slowly moves out of our shadow until 5:10 a.m., when the eclipse event is over.
