DETROIT LAKES (KDLM) – Lakes Area residents may want to set their alarms a little earlier, Friday morning.
A nearly total lunar eclipse will occur early Friday. The eclipse will begin just after 1 a.m. and reach 97 percent of totality just after 3 a.m.
A narrow wedge of high pressure is likely to move into Minnesota Thursday night, which could cause some cloud cover obstructing the view of the eclipse at times.
The eclipse, known as the Beaver Moon will last nearly 3.5 hours and is the longest lunar eclipse in 580 years.
