North and Central America, including Alaska and Hawaii, will have the best view as the sun, earth, and moon fall into alignment. The earth takes center stage blocking the sun's light from its normal illumination of the moon. However, light still filters and bends and should cast a hazy red glow on the normally silver moon.
The event will happen early Tuesday morning beginning at 2:41 a.m. and continue until 3:53 a.m.
About every to three to five years, most areas on Earth witness a total lunar eclipse. Three will happen over the next 12 months.
