What you’ll see.

During totality, the entire Moon enters Earth’s umbra. Sunlight filtered through Earth’s atmosphere can color it copper, orange, or deep red.

An eclipse is only observable when the Moon is above your local horizon. The exact date may differ by one day from UTC depending on your time zone.

Check your city.
