• In a nutshell, the world's Western Hemisphere - the Americas and Hawaii - will see the eclipse sometime between late night and sunrise on June 4. The world's Eastern Hemisphere - far eastern Asia, Indonesia, Philippines, Australia and New Zealand - will see it sometime between sunset June 4 and midnight (June 5). We have a special section coming up later in this write-up for our Eastern Hemisphere friends:
• For most of North and South America, the moon will be in eclipse as its sets in the west-southwest at sunrise on

June 4. Only the far western parts of North America, Hawaii and far southern South America will see the whole dark umbral eclipse from start to finish. The eastern parts of North and South America will miss out entirely.
• As seen from most of the Americas, the eclipsed moon will be low in the west in the predawn and/or dawn sky. Therefore, a level and unobstructed western horizon will enable you to see more of the early morning eclipse. Moreover, binoculars should enhance the view of the partially eclipsed full moon in the haze of dawn.
• We give the eclipse times in Universal Time (and local eclipse times for the U.S., Asia, Australia and New Zealand at the bottom of the page). If you have difficulty converting Universal Time to your time, you are invited to use this handy eclipse calculator, which gives the eclipse times for your time zone (no conversion is necessary).
