The first total lunar eclipse of 2019 — also called a wolf moon — is expected to be both a supermoon and a reddish-copper blood moon.

Folks across the United States may be able to catch a glimpse of a super blood wolf moon eclipse.

In the Eastern time zone, the total eclipse will be visible from 9:36 p.m. on Jan. 20 to 2:48 a.m. on Jan. 21, according to an IndyStar interview with Brian Murphy, director of the Holcomb Observatory & Planetarium and Butler University professor.

Eclipse data from NASA indicates the eclipse is expected to be visible throughout North and South America. 

NASA projects the total eclipse duration at about 1 hour and 2 minutes.The peak is expected at 12:16 a.m. EST on Jan. 21, according to Space.com.

EarthSky Communications Inc., a Texas-based science website, says the Jan. 21 event is also expected to be a supermoon, or a “new or full moon closely coinciding with perigee, the moon’s closest point to Earth in its monthly orbit.”
