The Total Lunar Eclipse will occur tonight and can be visible from the Pacific, Americas, Europe, and Africa. The next total eclipse will not occur until December 21, 2010! We will see partial eclipses for the next few years but none will be as dramatic as tonight.
What is a Total Lunar Eclipse? Glad you asked; this occurs when the entire Moon passes through Earth's umbral shadow and only when the moon is a Full Moon like tonight. These events are amazing to see due to the Moon's vibrant red color during the total phase.
The eclipse will begin at approximately 6:43 pm. MST and end at approximately 10:09 pm MST.
So, grab a lawn chair and a coat and get out to see this wonderful sight; Mother Nature does it again! Enjoy!
