Sky watchers in western North America can witness brief total lunar eclipse on April 4th before dawn, while it will be visible on Saturday evening in Australia and East Asia.
A total lunar eclipse will occur for a short 12 minutes. The eclipse would be visible as the full moon drops toward the western horizon. Sky-watchers in the western United States and Canada will be able to see the total eclipse before the moon sets.
The Earth's shadow has been expected to barely eclipse the upper portion of the moon, which accounts for the short duration.
Also, the upper portion of the moon would remain relatively bright and might dampen the copper or blood color that was common with total lunar eclipses.
