LOS ANGELES — Early risers in Southern California will have a chance to see a total lunar eclipse before dawn Tuesday, as the full moon passes into Earth’s shadow in a celestial event visible across the region.
The eclipse will begin at 12:37 a.m. Tuesday and continue until 6:25 a.m., with totality — when the moon is fully within Earth’s inner shadow — starting at 3:04 a.m., according to Griffith Observatory officials.
If skies are clear, the eclipse will be visible to the naked eye from anywhere in Southern California. Observers are advised to look toward the southwest sky. No telescopes or special eye protection are required, officials said…
