Don’t miss this one folks – it’s beautiful. Maybe stay up untill sunrise with someone huh…

Starting at about 12:29AM EST, there’s going to be a total eclipse of the moon, and if you’re living in North or South America, you’ll be able see it nearly totally. If you live in Europe, Asia, Austrailia or New Zealand… better luck next time.

You can see a map of the eclipse’s path here at NASA.

At 2:41 AM the eclipse will reach totality, giving us a ruddy red moon, colored by light from the Sun that is bent towards the Moon by the edges of our atmosphere. Totality will end at 3:53 AM.

At 3:19 AM all three of us, Sun, Earth, and Moon, will be completely in alignment. Lunar eclipses, unlike solar eclipses, can be observed completely safely with the naked eye. No pinholes required.

Not as impressive as, a total eclipse of the heart… *ahem*
