Total Lunar Eclipse - March 3, 2026
Totality happens close to sunrise for approximately half the states in the east. Check these tables to see how much of the eclipse will be visible for you. The eastern third of Maine will see no totality. States along the Pacific coast can view a complete eclipse!
The seven pages above list 300 cities, showing sunrise times for each town and the conditions seen at each location. For example, in Salt Lake City, you can see the complete, partial, and total phases of the lunar eclipse. The only thing you won’t be able to see is the Moon completely exiting the penumbral phase because the Moon will be below the horizon. (See below)
I believe a selenelion eclipse can be seen somewhere in the states. If anyone knows for sure where, then please drop me a line at larrykoehn@gmail.com!
I just found a small table of times in this Google search. I saw this once from Columbia, SC, back in the 70s, ontop of an office building. My memory of the details has blurred with time.

October 10, 2024, from Huntsville. Not as bright as May’s auroras, but it was still visible to the naked-eye!
