There’s going to be a total eclipse of the moon tonight, and North America has the best seat in the house for it.
You may be able to catch the eclipse on FOX, as it will occur during the World Series game that FOX is broadcasting.
For full viewing instructions, including when totality will occur in your timezone, as well as background on what a lunar eclipse is, etc., GO HERE.
For those in the continental US, totality (which lasts less than 5 min.) will occur at 7:18 Pacific, 8:18 Mountain, 9:18 Central, and 10:18 Eastern.
Enjoy!
P.S. Unlike an eclipse of the sun, you can look directly at an eclipse of the moon!

Thanks for the reminder, Jimmy.
You are amazing. I had to dig around Yahoo for five minutes to find the same info. In the end I found it at Yahoo! Science. It will be partly cloudy here in Ohio, so I’m not sure if we will see it.
Probably the only good thing about New York weather . . . it is not cloudy tonight.
I told my girlfriend to watch the lunar eclipse tonight. I am going to do so as well while listening to “Somewhere Out There” from An American Tale.

Unfortunatley, it was raining here, so I couldn’t see it.
Oh well . . . 🙂
