Quick answers
What time is the lunar eclipse on August 7, 2036?
The Earth’s dark shadow starts to cross the Moon at 00:55 UTC; the Moon is wholly inside it from 02:03 UTC to 03:39 UTC, and clear of it at 04:47 UTC. It happens at the same instant for everyone: only the clock on the wall differs.
How long is the Moon totally eclipsed?
For 1 h 36 min. With the partial phases before and after, the Earth’s dark shadow is on the Moon for 3 h 52 min.
Do I need anything to watch it?
No. A lunar eclipse is safe to watch with the naked eye, from anywhere the Moon is above the horizon. Binoculars show the colour better.
