The total eclipse of the moon will begin in the Central Time zone early Tuesday (tomorrow) morning at 12:33 a.m. and lasts until 4:01 a.m.- according to this Web page on the subject from NASA.
The moon will actually be totally-eclipsed for 72 minutes- mid-eclipse will be 2:17 a.m. CST- and the moon won't be blackened out- but will actually take on a dull- reddish color as the reflected light from Earth will still provide some illumination.
However- a cloud cover may obscure much if not all of the eclipse for many of us in the Central States- so good luck moon watchers!
