Hi Steve.

According to the attached document from NASA, it appears to me as if th e
eclipse will occur one hour earlier that the times that you quoted. Am I
reading it correctly?
The truth is in the starlight.

For those interested enough to brave the early morning, tomorrow there will be
a lunar eclipse. It will begin about 3:16. Totality will begin at 5:58 and last
about 5 minutes. These times are local. Dawn will arrive before the Moon is
completely out of the shadow
