'Blood Moon' visible tonight

A total lunar eclipse will be visible across much of the Americas and Asia in the coming hours.

The eclipse starts at 08:00 GMT (04:00 EDT), reaching totality just before sunrise at 10:25 GMT (06:25 EDT).

During the eclipse - which is the second to occur this year - our only natural satellite will be fully covered by the Earth's shadow.

The Moon will appear orange or red, the result of sunlight scattering off our atmosphere, hence the name Blood Moon.

Weather permitting, skywatchers in North America, Australia, western South America and parts of East Asia will be able to see the spectacle.



There's no chance of me seeing this, since I'm well into the region marked "No eclipse visible" :( . Does anyone else plan to?

It's meant to be tonight...And it's night now.
I think it'll be too cloudy though.

I'll go out and look before I retire for the night.

That's another problem I have. When I hear about these things and it isn't too cloudy, either they've already happened or I've already made plans for that evening that will prevent me from seeing them :( .
