A lunar eclipse occurs whenever the full moon passes through some portion of the Earth's shadow (umbra). A total lunar eclipse is when the Moon travels completely into the Earth's umbra.
At 5:57 pm CST the moon rose over the horizon. At 7:05 pm CST the moon entered the penumbra. At 8:14 pm CST the moon entered the umbra. At 9:23 pm CST the moon entered totality. At 10:40 pm CST the Boston Red Sox beat the St. Louis Cardinals in the 100th World Series. At 10:44 pm the moon left the totality. At 11:53 pm CST the moon left the umbra.
Yeah. Memorable.
