<<>I know this is the wrong forum for this question; but does anybody
know anything (like when totality is supposed to occur) about the total
lunar eclipse that's supposed to occur tomorrow?>
Translated (times are in U.T., Universal Time) eclipse starts at 9:12
EDT, totality at 11:19 EDT.>>
I think this is an hour off. The eclipse starts at 12 minutes after
midnight UTC. Since EDT is UTC-4, I make it 8:12:29 PM for the start. At
least that's when the penumbral phase starts; umbra entry is at 1:12:26
UTC, a.k.a. 9:12 PM EDT. So, if you want to see the whole thing, be there
at 8 PM Eastern (7 Central, 6 Mountain, 5 Pacific-but the moon will be
below the horizon at penumbral entry on the West Coast, so we won't see
it anyway).
