There will only be one total lunar eclipse this year, and North Texans will be able to see it this Friday morning.

According to NBC DFW, a total lunar eclipse, when the Earth is perfectly aligned between the sun and the full moon, hasn't occurred for almost three years.  Due to the moon moving directly into the Earth's shadow, it will turn a reddish color.


The event will occur early Friday morning, just after midnight.  The times to see the various phases are as follows:

-The partial eclipse begins at 12:09 am CDT
-The total eclipse begins at 1:26 am CDT
-The maximum eclipse is at 1:58 am CDT
-The total eclipse ends at 2:31 am CDT
-The partial eclipse ends at 3:47 am CDT

And no need to dust off those eclipse glasses from year's past; there's no harm in looking at an eclipsed moon.
