Total Eclipse of Moon to Occur Thursday Wed May 14,11:38 PM ET Add Science - AP to My Yahoo! LOS ANGELES - For astronomy buffs, Thursday night's eclipse will be the Super Bowl of celestial shows. Moonwatchers across North America will be treated to the lunar eclipse, and astronomy groups around the country are planning star parties, experts said. Weather permitting, the total eclipse will be the first visible across the United States in three years. It will also be visible in western Europe and southern Africa. A total lunar eclipse occurs when the full moon passes into the Earth's shadow and is blocked from the sun's rays that normally illuminate it. At the height of the eclipse, the sun, Earth and moon will align in space. Unlike solar eclipses, lunar eclipses are safe to view with the naked eye. Astronomers recommend even a modest telescope or binoculars to enhance the view. The eclipse will begin at 11:13 p.m. EDT, with the height of the phenomenon at 11:40 p.m. ___ On the Net: Naval Observatory: aa.usno.navy.mil
