    Thanks for posting this - I'll be sure to look up, just in case. If we can't see it, it looks like we get a second chance in August.

    "On the east coast of North America, the Moon will already be eclipsed when it rises at around sunset, while in Asia early risers will get a glimpse of the lunar blackout as the Moon sets.
    Total lunar eclipses normally occur roughly every couple of years, but those who miss the one this weekend will get another chance to see the moon disappear on August 28. The last took place on October 28, 2004."

    Europe is supposed to get a great view. Anyone going to try to see it?
    I don"t know if I want to get up early to see it myself.

    North Americans are to find a clear space, facing East, and station yourself there at sunset where you will see the lunar eclipse.

    Here is a map of how it will look to the world:

    No need to "get up early" ...
    For the Eastern USA, it STARTS before MoonRise (at 4:30 PM),
    peaks at 6:21 PM ...
    and is all over at 8:11 PM ... all times are in Eastern Standart Time.

    Look LOW in the eastern sky ... starting around sunset.

    The moon was full & low in the sky tonight about 5:45 tonight - no clouds, so maybe we'll luck out tomorrow & catch a glimpse!

    Here too, I think. I will try to remember to look though.
    I wonder if my guests tonight will mind if I bundle them all outside after dinner?

    Hopefully we'll be able to see it from here! It is really sunny right now, so I don't think the clouds are gonna be a problem.

    It is getting really cloudy here, and I think it's going to rain, so, no eclipse for Argentina
    But who knows, maybe the weather changes by that time, and I hope it does cause I really wanted to see it.
