The eclipse will begin just after 1 a.m. PST and will reach its maximum just before 4 a.m.
It also will be visible across Australia and much of Asia. The moon will appear orange or red, the result of sunlight scattering off Earth's atmosphere. That's why it's called a blood moon.
NASA will also offer a livestream of the eclipse below.
