SEE THE LAST TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE MOON UNTIL 2014
This animation simulates the total lunar eclipse of Dec 10, 2011.
The animation depicts a wide-angle horizon view of the western sky, Saturday morning, Dec 10, as the eclipsed Moon sets into the west just before dawn.
Note how the brightening pre-dawn sky will make it hard to see the darkened eclipsed Moon through the last stages of totality.
Animation created with Starry Night Pro™ software.
Here are more details of what is the last total eclipse of the Moon until April 15, 2014.
WHAT
During a total lunar eclipse, the Full Moon passes through the shadow of the Earth and the entire Moon turns deep red — in this case for 51 minutes.
WHEN
On December 10 the partial phase of the eclipse begins at 5:45 a.m. That’s when the Moon begins to enter Earth’s shadow and a dark bite appears on the Full Moon.
Over the next 81 minutes more of the Moon is engulfed in our shadow, until 7:06 a.m. when the Moon is entirely within Earth’s shadow and the total eclipse begins.
The total eclipse lasts until 7:57 a.m. when the Moon appears just above the northwest horizon, about to set. The sky will be so bright that the dark eclipsed Moon may be difficult to see as the Moon begins to emerge from our shadow.
From Calgary, the Moon sets at 8:34 a.m., with the partial eclipse in progress — the Moon will appear about half eclipsed as it sets.
Partial Eclipse begins5:45 a.m. MST
Total Eclipse begins 7:06 a.m. MST
Mid-Eclipse 7:31 a.m. MST
Total Eclipse ends 7:57 a.m. MST (Moon only 4 degrees above horizon)
Moon sets and Sun rises8:34 a.m. MST (with partial eclipse in progress)
WHERE
When the total eclipse begins the Moon will be low in the northwest, setting into a sky brightening in the pre-dawn twilight. This will be the best time to see the total eclipse from Alberta—around 7:06 a.m. Look northwest to see the red Moon.
HOW TO VIEW
Lunar eclipses are perfectly safe to look at with the unaided eye or any optical aid. Binoculars will provide the best view. The best viewing location will be from a rural site with an unobstructed view to the northwest.
Due to its urban location and Tom Campbell Hill to the northwest, no public observing event is planned at TELUS Spark the morning of the eclipse, December 10.

On August 21, 2017 the Night Sky Festival went out with a flare as a partial solar eclipse occurred over Shenandoah National Park. Visitors young and old gathered at Byrd Visitor Center to experience the wonder of this natural phenomenon together.
While wandering around Ashbridges Bay Park during the partial eclipse, I walked along a path through a wooded area. Much to my delight, the partial eclipse was being played out at my feet.
