what time in mountain time is the eclipse
DENVER â Sky watchers in Western North America are in for a treat: a nearly five-minute total lunar eclipse just before sunrise on Saturday. Starting at 4:16 a.m. Mountain Daylight Time, the moon will begin moving into Earthâs shadow. For the next hour and 45 minutes, that shadow will move across the moon and engulf it at 5:58 a.m. Mountain Time. The total eclipse will only last four minutes and 43 seconds, and NASA says that makes it the shortest one of the century.
