Lunar Eclipse Tonight!

The moon is engulfed in the Earth's shadow during a total lunar eclipse tonight. Everyone from all around the world should be able to see it, even though the bad weather might spoil it.

 

 

 

So what is a Lunar Eclipse?  According to Wikipedia,  A lunar eclipse occurs whenever the moon passes through some portion of the Earth’s shadow. This can occur only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned exactly, or very closely so, with the Earth in the middle. The Earth's shadow is expected to blot out the moon tonight beginning around 7 p.m. on the West Coast and 10 p.m. on the East Coast.  I’ll be looking out for it and making a wish :)
