If you live in a wooded area, in a city, or anywhere with an obstructed view of the horizon, it will be hard to spot. Worse is that just before dawn, the moon will be near the horizon in the western sky. The best time to look for it is at 6:48 am ET (sunrise is at 7:15 am). Much of the East Coast of the United States will only see a partial lunar eclipse of the blue moon just before and during dawn. It’s an impressive trifecta - but not everyone will be able to see the full show. Topping things off, this moon will be a “supermoon,” meaning it will appear slightly bigger and brighter than average. For 77 minutes, the usually silvery moon will be covered with a blood-red/ochre shadow.Įven more notable: This total lunar eclipse will happen during the second full moon this month - a bonus event known as a “blue moon.” Such a coincidence (and it is nothing more than a coincidence) has not occurred in 150 years. On Wednesday, January 31, the full moon will pass through the shadow of the Earth.
