FROM WALB
You might want to wake up early Wednesday morning and take a look at the moon.

A total lunar eclipse will occur around 4:00 a.m.

Science director Mitch Lumar has recommendations for those who plan on watching.

“For people wanting to see the lunar eclipse, you need to be patient because this event doesn’t happen in 5 minutes or even half an hour,” said Mitch. “You should start looking a little after 4 in the morning, right until sunrise, the moon will be in the west. It will be dark and it’ll be brownish or reddish.”

The entire process is known to take several hours.
