Total lunar eclipse tonight

NASA has details for viewing times in various timezones. I'm going to have to stay up really freaking late for this one...

These things always occur at inopportune times. Sometimes I just with that space / time would revolve around my needs.

Make sure to take pics.

This will interfere with my part-time job as a werewolf.

I woke up and saw it just as it turned kind of a rust color, it was really cool.

I woke up at 5:57am EDT, and saw the rusty moon.  I thought that was the height of it so I went back to bed.  I wish I watched it a little longer.

I've seen a total lunar eclipse before.  The dark moon which you can still see is totality.  (From the moon, I imagine the Earth looks like a ring of fire, which illuminates a bit.)  It's fun to step out every so often and see all the phases, but it gets boring if you just sit out there and try to stare at the whole thing.
