Best answer:
Answer by L_H Qutub(Retired)Astronomy lovers are hoping for clear skies tonight to see the first total eclipse of the moon visible from West Michigan in three years.
The moon will begin slipping into the earth's shadow at 1:30 a.m. and become immersed in darkness at 2:41 a.m., leaving only a coppery glow that will last about an hour, according to David L. DeBruyn, curator emeritus of the Roger B. Chaffee Planetarium a the Grand Rapids Public Museum.
Tuesday's eclipse is also special because it occurs with the moon almost as high in the sky as it can go.
West Michigan won't get another lunar eclipse opportunity until April 2014, DeBruyn said.
