What time is the lunar eclipse tonight?

Before the year ends, another celestial phenomenon is bound to happen. Tonight, a total lunar eclipse is expected to take place in the sky. It will be visible after midnight Eastern Standard Time in North and South America at exactly 12:17 a.m. Observers along South America’s east coast miss the late stages of the lunar eclipse because they occur after moonset.
According to NASA's website, the Alabama center has had some cloud cover with a few intermittent breaks.

Neil deGrasse Tyson, director of the Hayden Planetarium in New York, tells MSNBC that the eclipse begins at 12:29 a.m.
