Lunar eclipse over the Palouse Feb. 21
A total lunar eclipse will be visible in the Palouse area Feb. 21. Michael Allen, instructor in WSU’s department of physics and astronomy, said that when the moon rises that evening at 5:11 p.m. the eclipse will already have begun, but the center of the eclipse — when the moon is directly in the center of the earth’s shadow — will not occur until 7:26 p.m. The eclipse will end at 10:17 p.m. “The best time to watch the eclipse is from 5:43 to 9:09 p.m.,” he said.
