Total Lunar Eclipse Tonight

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the burn-your-eyes-out dept.

chuckpeters writes "A total lunar eclipse will soon darken the full moon for most of North and South America, Europe, and Africa. The Moon rises about five p.m. EST and the eclipse will be in penumbra. Totality begins at 8:06 p.m. EST. and ends at 8:31 PM EST and the partial eclipse ends at 10:45 PM. EST" To obtain the time and location for your area, use the Lunar Computer. It looks like the weather will cooperate and we will have clear skies for most of the country. Articles can be found at NASA, Space.com, Sky and Telescope, and Starry Skies."

    The earth is blocking light from hitting the moon. Is this an IBM ad that we're supposed to interpret as Linux blocking any money from hitting SCO's stupid sphere-logo?
