Starts at 10:02PM Hawaii time, turns blood red at 12:16PM, stays this dark reddish-copper color for 85 minutes, and ends at 3:46AM.  Duration:  5 hours, 42 minutes. And you can watch without wearing any safety glasses, which are required for solar eclipses. You would think that New York, which is now 5 hours ahead of Hawaii, would end at 8:36 AM when the sun would have been up for 2 hours.  But eclipses don't work that way.  For New York: Begins at 3:02 AM. Peaks at 5:59AM. Ends at 6:41AM, with the sun rising just before at 6:35AM Duration:  3 hours, 39 minutes. Thus, Hawaiians will see the whole lunar eclipse longer than anyone else. The next total eclipse will occur on 14March2025. No one won the  Powerball $1.6 billion  Saturday night.
