On Wednesday evening, February 20th, the full Moon over the Americas will turn a delightful shade of red and possibly turquoise, too. It’s a total lunar eclipse—the last one until Dec. 2010.
The Sun goes down. The Moon comes up. You go out and look at the sky. Observing the eclipse is that easy. Maximum eclipse, and maximum beauty, occurs at 10:26 pm EST (7:26 pm PST).

Boo hoo. Overcast skies here in Albuquerque tonight. No show.
I’ve never hated clouds so much in my life…
Ditto here in NW Nebraska. I hear most of the West is covered in clouds tonight. Bummer. 🙁
As a connoisseur of irony I feel it’s my duty to report that here in Portland the skies are crystal clear and the eclipse is awesome.
