Weather conditions will also play a significant role in who is able to catch a glimpse of the historic sight.
"The current forecasts show that a stubborn low off the East Coast may lead to cloud cover blocking the eclipse from view over the Middle Atlantic region and Southeast," weather.com meteorologist Quincy Vagell said. "A storm system in the north-central states may also bring disrupting clouds from the northern Plains back into the central Rockies. Elsewhere, high pressure is expected to bring good viewing condition to parts of New England, the Midwest, Southwest and the West Coast."
Most all of North America, South America and Africa will have a chance to see something truly amazing on Sunday when three celestial events – a full moon, a supermoon, and a lunar eclipse – will coincide for a few hours.
The majority of the viewing area will see the full eclipse for about an hour, but where you are in the world will determine just how late you need stay awake (or how early you need to get up) to take it all in.
According to USA Today, the West Coast of the United States and Canada have the best timeframe. Folks in Vancouver and Los Angeles can enjoy the sight over dinner with the full eclipse happening around 7:11 p.m. It will last one hour and 12 minutes.
Eastern U.S. cities, including New York and Atlanta, will have to wait until 10:11 p.m., and South American cities such as Rio will have to wait a further hour.
Viewers in Europe and Africa will have to get up early on the morning of the 28th, with the full eclipse peaking at around 3:11 a.m. in London and Tangier and about 4:11 a.m. for Madrid and Cape Town.
