Total Lunar Eclipse this Sat. Night

After over 2 years we are finally able to experience a total lunar eclipse this weekend. On March 3 this Saturday we will see the moon disappear and reappear behind the shadow of Earth.



Unlike a solar eclipse you will not need a special device or filter to view this spectacle. You can use your own eyes or for a better view some binoculars or a telescope.

According to the time table on SkyTonight.com partial eclipse begins around 5:30pm AST and for people on EST we will see total eclipse at around 5:44pm once again in EST and you can catch the tail end by around 8:12pm EST. Unfortunately people in PST will not be able to view this phenomenon but I'm sure someone will take pictures.

The last time this happened was in 2004 so unless you want to wait another 2 years I suggest you take a drive out to a distance location far way from rural lights and take a moment to view this awesomeness. If anyone has a good enough camera take some pictures and let me know!

Remember your daily cup o' J and enjoy your lunar eclipsed weekend!
