"On the evening of Tuesday, September 17, as twilight ends, the rising moon will be 11 degrees above the east-south-eastern horizon with Saturn to the upper right at 14 degrees above the horizon," NASA notes on its website.
"The full moon will have a slight red tint as it passes through Earth's shadow, as the light from the sun will be passing through Earth's atmosphere."
"A lunar eclipse occurs at full moon, and when the shadow of the Earth falls on the moon. The Earth's shadow as viewed from the moon is actually much bigger than the moon itself, so a lunar eclipse can last a long time and be seen by a whole hemisphere on the Earth," Don Pollacco, a professor of physics at the University of Warwick, told The Independent.
"Later in the evening the partial shadow of the Earth will cover a small upper part of the moon. The moon will start entering the partial shadow of the Earth at 8.41pm EDT (1.41am in Ireland on Wednesday)."
