When to watch: The eclipse starts at 11:57pm tonight. Totality — when the moon will be entirely within Earth's shadow — will happen at 2:26am Friday, according to NASA.
The moon at this point will be "tinted a coppery red," the federal agency says.
Use binoculars or a telescope for best viewing options.
To snap a pic, place your camera on a tripod and use exposures of at least several seconds.
Totality will end at 3:31am.
Yes, but: It looks like the weather tonight and into Friday will be less than ideal for viewing, as the forecast calls for cloudy skies and a chance of rain overnight.
