On Sunday evening, May 15, a total eclipse of the Moon will be visible from throughout the U.S.

In our Pacific time zone, the total eclipse will begin at 8:29 p.m. and end at 9:54 p.m. A partial eclipse will continue until 10:56 p.m., when the moon passes entirely out of the Earth’s shadow. During the total eclipse, the Moon will take on a ghostly copper color.

Our grant partners, the Space Science Institute, who are helping to fund our STEM project at Quincy Public Library, provided some details about the eclipse to share!
