In
Denver it starts about 9 and the full eclipse is around 10:15.

Then again, it's supposed to be cloudy and rainy.

The moon often turns a faint red during a full lunar eclipse. But it depends on exactly how far the moon is from the earth at the time of the eclipse. Whether you can notice the red will depend on how clear the sky is.

If the west you will be able to watch the sun set while the partially eclipsed moon rises - if you can get someplace relatively high.

dang, in Washington the moon will rise in eclipse, but it won't be visible until dark and by that time the eclipse will be over. Sad

In california, the eclipse starts around 7:40 and goes until around 8:30 i think.

My daughter was bummed because it was so cloudy. Luckily as soon as it started to eclipse the clouds went away and she was stoked. I don't know how long she stayed up to watch it but I went to bed at 11:30. Pretty cool.
