How to see it
A lunar eclipse needs no equipment and is safe to watch. It is visible from anywhere the Moon is above the horizon during the eclipse, which is roughly half the planet at once. Watch the curved edge of Earth's shadow creep across the Moon; the curve is the shadow of a round planet. Use the location button above to check the Moon's altitude from your city at each stage.
