Lunar Eclipse Sunday!

 From CTV:

The best views will be in Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic Canada, where the moon will be already above the horizon by the time the eclipse is set to begin.

From Astronomy Magazine:

Late on May 15, observers across the U.S. will be greeted with a total eclipse of the Moon, the first of two this year (the second one occurs early on the morning of Nov. 8). The Full Moon is two days from perigee, spanning nearly 33′ as it crosses the central part of Earth’s shadow, resulting in a longer-than-average 85-minute period of totality. The eclipse occurs with the Moon located in Libra the Balance; the later evening hours reveal the orange glow of Antares in neighboring Scorpius, providing a lovely complement to the orange-hued eclipsed Moon.

The visibility of the eclipse is time zone dependent. East Coast observers will see the whole eclipse in a dark sky. In the Midwest, the Full Moon rises in the eastern sky with the penumbral stages underway, enhancing the effect of the subtly progressing shadow. Observers in the Mountain time zone see the partial eclipse already underway in twilight. From the West Coast, the onset of totality occurs in twilight and the later stages of the eclipse are visible in a dark sky.

The lunar eclipse begins with the penumbral shadow — a subtle shading barely visible on the Moon’s lower limb — at 9:32 P.M. EDT. The Moon reaches the dark edge of the deep umbral shadow at 10:27 P.M. EDT. Dusky gray first creeps across the lunar surface and, as more of the Moon sinks into the shadow, an orange coloring will become noticeable, particularly through a telescope.
