It should make for an interesting scene to see the moon coming up over the east-southeast horizon already partly immersed in Earth's dark shadow. If there are local landmarks in the foreground, it can make for a spectacular photo op. For locations where the moon remains above the horizon throughout, the totality phase of the eclipse will last 85.5 minutes, beginning around 11:28 p.m. EDT on May 15 .
At the moon's distance from Earth of 225,000 miles , the diameter of Earth's umbra is 5,800 miles , or 2.7 times the. So there will be no problem in getting the moon completely immersed in the umbra. At the moment of mid-totality , the moon will stand directly overhead from Sucre, Bolivia. The moon will move through the southern part of the umbra, according to, so at mid-totality, the upper half of the moon will appear darkest — perhaps a deep reddish-brown or chocolate — while the southern half will appear a brighter hue of red or even coppery orange.
Conversely, the moon will be setting in total eclipse across portions of East Central Africa and West Central Europe. Because of low altitude and bright morning twilight, observers in these locations may not see much of the moon at all after it slips completely into Earth's shadow.
