The National Weather Service in Reno says the best viewing will be in Lyon, Mono and Mineral counties. Stargazers in the Reno-Sparks area will be able to see broken mid-high level clouds which could faintly shield the time of totality. Viewers should look for the eclipse in the south-southeastern portion of the sky.

Timeline:

• 7:59 p.m. - Moonrise
• 8:29 p.m. - Total eclipse begins
• 9:11 p.m. - Maximum eclipse begins
• 9:53 p.m. - Total eclipse ends
• 10:55 p.m. - Partial eclipse ends

A total lunar eclipse typically only occurs twice every two-and-a-half to three years.
