LUNAR ECLIPSE SATURDAY—
A full lunar eclipse will be visible (weather permitting) in Eastern North America Saturday evening. The eclipse will be full by 5:44 p.m. and will last for about four hours. The moon will not rise above our Eastern horizon until about 6:30 p.m., so viewers will see the full lunar disc in a deep reddish/orange color because the sun light illuminating the moon will be that refracted through our atmosphere. The more dramatic view may occur while the eclipse is ending and the full moon returns to its normal brightness.
