They will be able to watch the eclipse from start until finish, unabated by sunrise. The blood moon portion of the eclipse will enter totality at 4:51 a.m. and peak at 5:30 a.m. Skygazers in Australia and eastern Asia will be able to watch the event on Wednesday night as the moon rises. Perhaps the best view of Wednesday’s celestial activity is from the moon itself, according to Mr. Johnston. “You would see a red circle of sunlight scattered toward the moon by the Earth’s atmosphere,” Mr. Johnston said.
