In the early hours Tuesday morning a total lunar eclipse highlighted the Vineyard skies. This is when the full moon slips into the earth's shadow. The moon will started to move through the darkest part of the Earth's shadow, the Umbra, at 4:08 a.m. Total eclipse began at 5:16 a.m. with total mid eclipse at 6 a.m. By then, the moon will be appearing low in the western sky, as the light of dawn takes over.
