How to watch the NASA total lunar eclipse live stream
NASA provided live coverage of the entire celestial spectacle, courtesy of NASA TV, live through Wednesday, January 31.
Viewers were able to follow along the webcast on @NASAMoon, NASA’s lunar Twitter account.
The stream begins at 5.30am EST (10.30am GMT) before the penumbral eclipse begins and will feature views from different vantage points in western USA.
NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles and the University of Arizona’s Mt.Lemmon SkyCenter Observatory are the chosen locations to stream the super blue blood moon.
The total lunar eclipse, when the moon glows red from passing into the direct shadow of the Earth begins at 7.52am EST (12.52pm GMT) on Wednesday January 31 and lasts for one hour and 16 minutes.
However the whole process from the beginning of the penumbral eclipse to when it ends will take more than four hours.
The celestial event is known as a lunar trifecta, the combination of a super moon, a total lunar eclipse and a blue moon.
Those in the western US, Alaska and Hawaii are situated perfectly to view the eclipse in its entirety but in the eastern US, the moon will set and the sun will ruse before the total lunar eclipse begins.

Who else is streaming the Super Blue Blood Moon?
Astronomy broadcasting service Slooh will also be live streaming the Super Blue Blood Moon lunar eclipse starting from 5.45am EST (10.45am GMT).

Slooh will live stream the total five hours and 17 minutes of the eclipse, and will feature live streams from partners in Hawaii, Australia, New Zealand and Asia.
“This is the first total lunar eclipse since September 28 2015 an it has been almost seven years since the Moon entered the Earth’s umbral shadow as deeply as this one,” Slooh astronomer Paul Cox said.
Astronomer Brad Tucker, from the Australian National University, declared that the red appearance of the moon is caused by light bending and filtering properties our the atmosphere.
He explained: "That red appearance is really the sunrise and the sunset of the Earth falling on the Moon.”
The best time to view the UK's super blue moon, which will not have a redddish tint as the lunar spectacle will not be visible in the UK, will be around 12.40am on Thursday February 1, when the moon is at its highest.
