Eclipse 2019 in los angeles: when is lunar eclipse visible?

A Super Blood Wolf Moon is a very rare occurrence. This lunar event will see the combination of a supermoon - where the moon appears bigger and brighter than usual and a blood moon - a total

lunar eclipse. The ‘wolf’ name is given to the full moon every January, originating in Native American culture. WHEN IS THE ECLIPSE? The eclipse takes place between January 20 and 21 - from

late at night into the following morning. But in Los Angeles, the Super Blood Wolf Moon will only be visible on January 20. LOS ANGELES TIMINGS: * Duration of full event: 5 hours, 11

minutes, 33 seconds * Duration of total eclipse: 1 hour, 1 minute, 58 seconds * Partial eclipse begins: Jan 20 at 7:33:54 pm * Full begins: Jan 20 at 8:41:17 pm * Maximum: Jan 20 at 10:12:14

eclipse. A lunar eclipse is visible to the naked eye but binoculars or a telescope will give you a more detailed view. Lunar eclipses can be visible from everywhere on the night side of the

 Earth, if the sky is clear. However, according to forecasters, a storm could thwart plans to see the eclipse for those in LA. AccuWeather Meteorologist Mike Doll said: “There is a potential

for a major winter storm to impact the mid-Atlantic and Northeast [this] weekend that could last into Sunday night. If that happens, viewing the lunar eclipse is a no-go for residents in

those regions.” See the map below for the areas which could have limited visibility. WHY IS THIS MOON SPECIAL? Apart from being a very rare combination of phenomenon, this is also the last

total lunar eclipse of the decade. Those that miss this eclipse will need to wait until May 26, 2021, for the next opportunity to witness a total lunar eclipse. This will be the first total

lunar eclipse visible in its entirety across the UA since December 21, 2010. WHAT IS THE SUPER BLOOD WOLF MOON? The phenomenon gets its name because of it’s ‘super’ close distance to the

Earth and it’s ‘blood’ reddish hue. The title of ‘wolf’ is given to the January full moon. This is thought to date back to Native American tribes and early colonial times when wolves would

howl outside villages.
