How to see the blood moon, lunar eclipse Wednesday morning

When the Earth passes directly between the sun and moon early Wednesday morning, the moon – cast in the Earth’s shadow – will glow red.  You won’t want to miss this lunar eclipse spectacle. Now let’s hope clouds don’t play spoiler.
Best time to watch: In the East, the prime time for the eclipse – when the moon turns a coppery red – starts at 6:25 a.m. ET and ends at moonset. Depending on your exact location (in the East), moon is set to fall beneath the western horizon between roughly 6:50 and 7:30 a.m. ET. In Washington, D.C. moonset is at 7:16 a.m. Wednesday morning; check TimeandDate.com for local moonset times.

If you’re inclined to wake up on the early side, partial eclipsing begins at 5:15 a.m. ET.

Areas in the central and western U.S. have a longer viewing window, thanks to later moonset times. Refer to the table below, from Sky and Telescope, for a viewing schedule by region:

Will this be visible in Nigeria op?
