Lunar eclipse Lowcountry bound tonight
Mark your calendar to stay up late the night of Monday, April 14, as a total eclipse of the moon becomes visible in the Lowcountry during the wee hours of Tuesday, April 15.
Things will get underway at 12:55 a.m. with the full eclipse visible at 3:08 and ending at 5:32 in the morning — so better stock up on the coffee and donuts.
For the best viewing you'll want to get away from the city and be able to have a view to the south and southwest.
