Lunar eclipse this week

[robinsnest]

The best nights to see the Super Flower Moon
are Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights.
The moon rises a little later each night as its
phases shift.

Here are the moonrise times for the Phoenix
area:

On Tuesday, the moonrise is about 7 p.m. The
moon will be 99% full.

On Wednesday, the full moon rises at 8:11
p.m.

On Thursday, the moon rises at 9:23 p.m.
Adam Block, who works at Steward Observatory
in the University of Arizona’s Department of
Astronomy, predicts the best viewing will be from
4 a.m. to 5:30 a.m. on Wednesday.

Right before the sun comes up, the moon will be
in total eclipse on the horizon.

Block said the lighting should be very nice that
morning with the moon taking on a red-orange
color.

Look to the west to see the moon that morning.

The moon was full last night when the cat went out. I'm going to have
rain and clouds this week so I probably won't see anything.

In my area, the moon will only be 6* above the western horizon. That means I won't be able to see anything due to the tall dense woods across the road.

I hope to see the rising of the moon this evening. First chance without the clouds. But, like Squirrel, I have trees blocking the western horizon, and it didn't sound like the eclipse would be too great except on the west coast, so I didn't get up to try to see it this morning. It was all cloudy here this morning anyway. Sun didn't break out until mid-late morning.
