<br>
Here in Atlanta, sunrise on that day is calculated to be at 07:37, while moonset should occur about 07:43. But the moon will be coming out from behind the earth's shadow and 73% of its surface should still be within the umbral shadow.<br>
<br>
Normally, of course, it should not be possible to see both the sun and the moon during a lunar eclipse. REfraction caused by the earth's atmosphere causes the sun to rise several minutes before it actually does and the moon to still be visable for a few minutes after it (geometrically) has set.<br>
<br>
So, if you are out and about Wednesday morning between 07:30 and 08:00 you might want to find a place to stop and enjoy the rare occurrence.<br>
