an hour? i thought it was s'posed to be completely covered within 50 mins of starting


Yes and no.

It covers in about an hour, but the entire eclipse from start to finish is over 3 hours.

"The moon will enter Earth's umbral shadow (the full shadow) at 8:43 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Feb. 20. It will appear as though an ever-larger bite is being taken out of the moon. Some 78 minutes later, the moon will slip into full eclipse. About 51 minutes later, a bright scallop will appear as the moon starts emerging. It will be completely out of the umbral shadow at 12:09 a.m. ET on Thursday morning."

(Sorry those are in Eastern Time Zones.)

The peak red is suppose to happen after it's covered.

I just saw red but I am not entirely sure if it was the moon or blood in my eyes because I was leaning backwards over the railing of my terrace to see beyond the overhang of the roof.

Great way to pull a back muscle.sigh
