Where to see the total lunar eclipse
The entirety of Central and South America will be able to see the entire total lunar eclipse from start to end. The entire eastern seaboard of the United States is also included in this area with the midwest region being on the edge. The further west you go in the United States and Canada, the less you can expect to see. The entire United States and most of Canada will see at least some of the eclipse. This is also true for all of Africa and most of Europe. The visibility of the eclipse does entirely depend on local weather and cloud coverage. You can check your local weather stations for the expected forecast, or you can check out the Astrospheric app. This free app is available on Android, iOS, and on the web, and will show you the forecasted cloud coverage in your area. This is an astrophotography tool but will be useful for getting an idea of what to expect.
Where to watch the total lunar eclipse
If you live in an area where you won’t see totality or will be missing out due to weather, NASA will be hosting a live stream starting at 11 p.m. EDT going through the totality of the eclipse. While not as exciting as watching an eclipse with your own eyes, you are likely to learn something you didn’t know about eclipses by watching! Depending on local conditions, the Space Explored Team may host our own live stream on our YouTube channel. Stay tuned to our Twitter which is where we will announce our stream if we can host one.
