According to Sky & Telescope online, a total lunar eclipse is going to take place for a short 12 minutes on Saturday. According to scientists, the total lunar eclipse will start at 4:54 a.m. The eclipse will be noticeable as the full moon drops towards the western horizon. Sky-watchers in the western United States and Canada can witness the total eclipse before the moon sets. According to the National Weather Service, the weather will possibly be cloudy with a 20% chance of showers and it is also going to be cold with a low in the mid-30s. It is expected that shadow of the Earth will barely eclipse the upper portion of the moon that accounts for the short duration. According to scientists, the moon’s upper portion will remain comparatively bright and there is a possibility that it may dampen the copper or blood color that is common with total lunar eclipses.
