The Earth’s atmosphere, which scatters sunlight, will create the effect of a sunset projected onto the moon. A first quarter moon appears highest on the spring equinox and lowest on the autumn equinox. A new moon appears highest on the summer solstice and lowest on the winter solstice. In full autumnal spirit, the moon will appear a reddish-brown color during the eclipse. The duration from full moon to new moon (or new moon to full moon) varies from approximately 13 days 2212 hours to about 15 days 1412 hours. “It is a very long eclipse so be a little patient and try to stay warm,” Myers said. The eclipse in other regions of North America - most of the Southeast, from the High Plains to the West Coast and in most of New England and Canada - could be obscured by clouds. Most of western Mexico and Southern Baja to Mazatlán will also have a clear view. We can expect clear skies across the Northeast, mid-Atlantic, and from Michigan and Ohio to Texas in the United States, CNN meteorologist Chad Myers said.
