A total lunar eclipse will be visible in Atlanta early Tuesday morning.
A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the moon and the sun, and the Earth’s shadow falls on the moon.
The partial eclipse will begin at 4:50 a.m. Tuesday, March 2. Totality begins just after 6 a.m.
To see it, just step outside and look up at the moon. No special equipment is required like it is during a solar eclipse.
The eclipse will be easier to see in a darker area away from bright lights. The sun will rise just after 7 a.m., as totality is ending, which will make the end of the eclipse harder to see from here.
