Total Eclipse of the Moon Play ScienceCast Video Join Mailing List Dec. 2, 2011: Waking up before sunrise can be tough to do, especially on a weekend.

This event—the last total lunar eclipse until 2014—is visible from the Pacific side of North America, across the entire Pacific Ocean to Asia and Eastern Europe: global visibility map.

Face west to see the red Moon sinking into the horizon as the sun rises behind your back. It's a rare way to begin the day. Not only will the Moon be beautifully red, it will also be inflated by the Moon illusion. For reasons not fully understood by astronomers or psychologists, low-hanging Moons look unnaturally large when they beam through trees, buildings and other foreground objects. In fact, a low Moon is no wider than any other Moon (cameras prove it) but the human brain insists otherwise. To observers in the western USA, therefore, the eclipse will appear super-sized. .... dst... lihat di: http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2011/02dec_lunareclipse/ Kalau "The action begins around 4:45 am Pacific Standard Time when the red shadow of Earth first falls across the lunar disk.", itu samo jo pukua 7:45 PM WIB (Petang Sabtu Malam Minggu).
