Here are the times to know for prime skywatching:

*The moon will rise around 6:30 p.m. CDT Sunday in Alabama and hit peak fullness at 9:50 p.m.

*The lunar eclipse will begin at 8:07 p.m. CDT.

*The total eclipse will begin at 9:11 p.m. CDT.

*The moment of greatest eclipse will be at 9:47 p.m. CDT.

*The total eclipse ends 10:23 p.m. CDT.

*The partial eclipse ends 11:27 p.m. CDT

*The moon will set between 7-7:15 a.m. CDT on Monday.

On the East Coast, "The moon enters Earth's full shadow, called the umbra, starting at 9:07 p.m. EDT (6:07 p.m. PDT). The total eclipse begins at 10:11 p.m. EDT (7:11 p.m. PDT). Totality lasts an hour and 12 minutes, at which point a bright sliver of the moon will emerge and grow," according to livescience.com.

On the west coast, Californians can start watching when the moon rises at around 7 p.m. Pacific Time. The total lunar eclipse starts at 7:11 p.m. and ends at 8:23 p.m.

Although Sunday's moon will be the closest one to Earth, it will also appear full for the next few nights as well.

The last total lunar eclipse visible in the United States was not long ago: April 4. Those on the West Coast got the best view.

The next total lunar eclipse that will be visible in the United States will be on Jan. 31, 2018, and will be best seen in the western U.S.

You are in RB, right? Lucky you! Normally I see the moon come up every night from my balcony. Tonight, nothing. What a disappointment. Smiley Sad
