Watch the January 31, 2018 Total Lunar Eclipse



The total lunar eclipse that is happening this morning won't really be noticeable to the human eye until around 6:48 am when the moon will be less than 10 degrees above the northwestern horizon. Unless you are on a mountaintop or are in a location with a clear view horizon that is free of trees and mountains, you won't be able to see it in Macon County. The above image shows the locations of the moon (above the horizon) and the sun (below the horizon) as seem from Rankin Square in Franklin, NC.

NASA has a fact sheet on the eclipse available at
 https://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/LEplot/LEplot2001/LE2018Jan31T.pdf

You will be able to see it online at the following locations:

NASA will air a live feed of the total lunar eclipse starting at 5:30 am, showing off the lunar body as it dips into Earth's shadow.



Slooh will also host a live feed of the lunar eclipse starting at 5:45 am.
