Partial Eclipse Visible Across Nation Despite Clear Skies
The partial lunar eclipse was seen in the Midwest and West while the East Coast had overcast skies. New York and New England mostly missed the event, though Pittsburgh residents observed a darker eclipse under cloud cover. Astronomers cited volcanic dust from Bali as a likely factor. The eclipse began at 8 16 p m EDT and lasted one hour 41 minutes.
