The total eclipse has a duration of almost an hour from 10:01 pm to 10:51 pm EST, when the moon can become almost invisible.When there are much clouds on the other side of the earth, then it is possible that the moon colors dark red because of diffused and reflected light in the atmosphere.

Super eclipse at 16 July 2000. According to the USNO Lunar Eclipse computer is the total lunar eclipse at 16 July 2000 in Europe not visible. The eclipse starts at midday, when the full moon stands at the other side of the earth. The moon goes straight through the center of the earth's shadow, what causes that this eclipse is the longest since 1859.
