Early risers in the western US and Canada should have been able to catch a glimpse before dawn on Saturday. The moment when Moon was completely obscured by Earth's shadow lasted only a few minutes, making it the shortest lunar eclipse of the century.
Some skygazers complained that clouds prevented them from seeing any of the lunar show.

People in eastern Australia, New Zealand and Japan viewed the eclipse at night.
The total eclipse was unusually brief because the moon passed through the upper part of Earth's shadow. Longer eclipses occur when the moon passes through the middle of the shadow.
The next total lunar eclipse occurs in September.
