Where and When to Watch
The eclipse is set to begin May 26 at 1:46 a.m. PDT. The Moon will enter the darkest part of the Earth’s shadow at 2:45 a.m. Part of it will remain in the umbra until 5:53 a.m.
To watch the Moon’s surface be blanketed by the Earth’s dark shadow (called “totality”), look up between 4:11 and 4:26 a.m. Totality can be seen everywhere in the Pacific and Mountain time zones, along with Texas, Oklahoma, western Kansas, Hawai'i and Alaska.
