The lunar eclipse and blood moon

At the very start of the eclipse, when parts of the moon begin to pass through the penumbra, the eclipse will look pretty subtle — basically, the moon will just be slightly dimmer than usual.

At 6:16 am ET, parts of moon will enter the umbra. It'll look like a dark bite has been taken out of the otherwise dimmed moon, with the dark zone gradually growing over time until the white moon is just a sliver.

At 4:58 am PT, things will get really cool, as the entire moon will begin glowing an eerie red instead of its usual white. This is because the sun, Earth, and moon will be aligned perfectly, with the entire moon in the Earth's umbra. This is the total eclipse.
