Looking Up

On the night of the 20th, in North America, look for a full lunar eclipse. Totality will begin around 11pm for those on EST, and around 8pm PST. Lunar eclipses occur when the Moon passes directly behind the Earth and is blocked from the Sun.

During totality the Earth's shadow will cover the moon, and it will appear deep red. Definitly a no-miss occurance, although the weather here is supposed to be cloudy. frown
