The moon will begin to cast a shadow Monday when a total lunar eclipse happens Monday night The Los Angeles Times reported.
According to The Times, the event starts at 10:20 p.m. with a quick prenumbral eclipse. Viewers who wait until 10:58 p.m. will be treated to another eclipse that will make the moon appear as though it is missing a piece The Times reported.
The main event happens shortly after when the Earth makes its shift over the moon when it will hover over it an increased amount as time progresses.
"The most unique thing about the 2014-2015 tetrad is that all of them are visible for all or parts of the USA," Fred Espenak of NASA said in a pre-arranged statement The Times reported.
"If you were standing on the moon during a total lunar eclipse you would see the Earth as a black disk with a brilliant orange ring around it. And this brilliant ring would be bright enough to dimly light up the lunar landscape," Espenak said in the statement The Times reported.
People can see the rare sighting anywhere throughout the United States, Central America, and certain areas of South America.
The rarity of the moon's lunar surface over planet Earth's shadow is still expected to cover the penumbra at a little over an hour later at 12:07 a.m.
The moon and planet earth will stay the way they are until 1:25 a.m. and event until 3:10 a.m. as the two natural characteristics uncover from each other concluding the eclipse The Times reported.
The sight will be bright red due to the light from the Earths sunsets and sunrises still shining through the moon's lunar surface The Times reported.
The moon will still be visible with a blue color aside from being covered by the Earth.
