Most of the world will be able to view this Moonshadow event from beginning to end. It begins around  9:32 p.m. EST on May 15. That’s when the eclipse reaches its maximum phase and the moon turns its deepest red a little after midnight 12:11 a.m. EST May 16.

May’s full moon is known as a Flower Moon, named for the blooming flowers this time of year in the Northern Hemisphere. So you will be watching a Flower Moon Eclipse.

November 7th and 8th bring us a Blood Moon total lunar eclipse. During this totality, the moon changes color and becomes a deeper yellow, ruddy orange, or even a deep crimson. The Blood Moon is anticipated to be visible to billions on Earth.

People across North and South America, Asia, Australia, and most of Europe will be able to watch the moon turn reddish during the overnight hours of November 7th and 8th. In the Western United States and Canada, eastern Russia, New Zealand, and parts of eastern Australia, the entire eclipse will be visible.

Meanwhile, eastern North America and most of South America will be viewing the eclipse in partial phases. The totality begins November 8th at 3:03 a.m. PST when the moon starts to shadow the earth.  And the eclipse will end at 3:41 am PST.
