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. During totality the Moon usually turns a deep orange or red because sunlight is bent through Earth's atmosphere onto it.
