Hope it's not cloudy tonight wherever you are. Only total lunar eclipse of 2019, plus a Supermoon makes it a Super Blood Moon. All times below are Pacific. If you're not on the west coast, do your own math.
If you want to watch it live, NASA says that the edge of the Moon will begin to enter the Earth's penumbra (the outer section of the shadow) at 6:36 p.m.
Over the course of the next 57 minutes, the Moon will dim as it travels through the penumbra. Then, at 7:33 p.m., the Moon will reach the umbra, at which point it will become significantly darker.
By 8:41 p.m., the Moon will be all the way inside the umbra, and that's when the eclipse truly begins.
The best view will occur at 9:12 p.m.
