(CNN) -- On Sunday, an eclipse of the moon will be visible from western North and South America, the Pacific Ocean, Australia and eastern Asia. The total phase or totality will last one hour and 47 minutes.

Totality will not be visible from the Americas since it occurs after moonset. Furthermore, only the western parts of the United States, Canada and Mexico will be able to see the beginning stages of the partial phases during the early morning hours on July 16. A much better view will be enjoyed further west in the Pacific. For instance, the Hawaiian Islands will see all of the partial and total phases as will Japan, the Philippines, Indonesia, Australia and New Zealand.
