The lunar eclipse will start as early as 9:30p on the east coast as the moon starts to move behind the Earth penumbra.

According to NASA, “At 8:41 p.m. PST (11:41 p.m. EST), the Moon will be completely inside the umbra, marking the beginning of the total lunar eclipse. The moment of greatest eclipse, when the Moon is halfway through the umbra, occurs at 9:12 p.m. PST (12:12 a.m. EST).”

After that point it will move out of the umbra and into the other side of the penumbra until about 2:30a when the eclipse will end.
