Moon enters Earth's shadow at 9:14 p.m.
totality begins at 10:23 p.m.
totality ends at 11:45 p.m.
Moon exits Earth's shadow at 00:54 a.m. (Oct. 28)

Observers on every continent except Australia can see the event at different times : The pale-white moon will turn pumpkin orange as it plunges into shadow, becoming eerie red during totality. Step outside and see for yourself.

Our planet casts a long shadow. It starts on the ground--Step outside at night. You're in Earth's shadow. Think about it!--and it stretches almost a million miles into space, far enough to reach the moon.
