A total lunar eclipse will be visible for 85 minutes Sunday night in Pearland.
Rice University astronomer Pat Hartigan says
"It's a nice long one," he said in an email, "perfect timing for early evening viewing. And it's even a supermoon."

The total eclipse starts at 10:29 p.m. CDT and continues through 11:54 p.m. CDT. This is when the entire moon will take on a reddish hue, caused by light left over from all the sunsets and sunrises occurring at that time.

The moon will then reenter a partial phase that lasts through 12:55 a.m. CDT.
