For those of you who get up early (or stay up late), the second full Moon of January will pass through Earth's shadow, producing a rare "Blue Moon Lunar Eclipse." The Moon won't look blue, however. Researchers are predicting a bright orange eclipse--a forecast based on studies of recent volcanic activity. The partial eclipse will begin at 03:48 PST and totality will be from 04:52 - 06:08. The partial eclipse ends at 07:11. If you don’t want to be up too early, assuming there is no fog, you might get the best views of the final partial phases between 06:15 - 06:45.
