Clear skies and low temperatures are forecast in Maryland for tonight's total eclipse of the moon -- the first visible here in almost four years.
The full moon will begin moving into the darkest part of Earth's shadow at 6:32 p.m. Totality begins at 8:06 and will last 24 minutes. During that time the moon will appear a reddish or coppery color. Lunar eclipses are safe to watch, even with binoculars.
