The moon will become completely immersed in the Earth's shadow tonight, Feb. 20, resulting in a total lunar eclipse. During a total lunar eclipse, the Moon's disk can take on a dramatically colorful appearance from bright orange to blood red to dark brown and (rarely) very dark gray.
Almost everyone in the Americas and Western Europe will have a beautiful view of this eclipse if bad weather doesn't spoil the show. The moon will be high in a dark evening sky as viewed from most of the United States and Canada while most people are still awake and about.
The total eclipse of the moon on February 20 will be the last one we’ll see until December 2010.
For continental U.S. time zones, the partial eclipse begins the evening of Feb. 20.
