Total Eclipse of the Moon
If you're bored and baseball is too slow for you. Go outside and look up. Chances are you'll be amazed by what you don't see. The planet earth and our only moon are scheduling to come into alignment tonight so you can see the effect of the earth's penumbra and umbra.
Here's a viewer's guide that will explain what you're seeing.
For those of you who can't stand the idea of going outside: There will be a webcast put on by the University of North Dakota.
The Eclipse will begin at 8:00PM Eastern Standard Time.
At 10:23, the moon will be in full shadow.
The eclipse should end at about 11:45 PM EST.
Remember, this is the last time to not see the moon till 2007.
