Anyone on the correct side of the Earth can see a lunar eclipse as long as they are where the sky is clear, they don't fall asleep, they are not blind, they look in the right direction, and there are no mountains, trees, buildings or other stuff blocking the view.If you can watch the eclipse, it will always be night at the time you watch it. This is because the Sun will always be precisely opposite to the Moon during a lunar eclipse - otherwise there would be no eclipse. And because the Moon has to be above the horizon to be watched, the Sun will have to be below the horizon.In other words: If it is night where you are at the time of a lunar eclipse, you will be able to see it (given the reservations above). And if it is day where you are during a lunar eclipse, you won't be able to see it (this is not because the Sun is too bright, but because the Moon is below the horizon).
