The observatory is not conducting onsite public viewing and the park will be closed during the broadcast. The eclipse will be streamed online <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=U079_8l8SNM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">[here]<\/a>, but visibility depends on the skies.<\/p>\n<p>If not obscured by clouds, the eclipse should be visible to the unaided eye from anywhere in Los Angeles County. Unlike a solar eclipse, there&#8217;s no potential harm caused by viewing the event without eye protection, and you do not need a telescope.<\/p>\n<p>During the eclipse, the moon will appear a reddish-brown color. At its peak, around 1 a.m., over 97% of the moon will be in full shadow and only a small sliver of its left side will shine in the partial shadow of the Earth, according to NASA.<\/p>\n<p>The moon turns red because the only sunlight reaching it passes through Earth&#8217;s atmosphere. The more dust or clouds in the Earth&#8217;s atmosphere at the time, the redder the moon will appear.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s as if all the world&#8217;s sunrises and sunsets are projected onto the Moon,&#8221; according to NASA&#8217;s website.<\/p>\n<p>Stargazers can also look forward to next year, when an even longer total lunar eclipse is expected Nov. 8.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Griffith Observatory is hosting an online broadcast of Thursday evening&#8217;s historic near-total lunar eclipse, the longest in nearly 600 years.
