| - | The entire eclipse will be visible from here. There are several phases of the eclipse. The penumbral eclipse really isn't visible to the eye; at most you might seem a slight shading at the end of it. You want to start watching when the "umbra", or dark part of the shadow, begins at 9:33. It will look like a bite starting on the moons right side, which will progress across the moon until the the moon is entirely dark at 10:41. Each eclipse is different, but the moon looks some shade of red. At 11:43, the moon will start to brighten on the right side, about where the "bite" started, and continue across until it's totally uncovered at 12:50 am. **Times are for the Topeka area, see link above for times in your area.** (Summary of Eclipse by Jan Burgardt) | + | |
