Tonight's total lunar eclipse is an event that happens once every 4-5 years. (Next Total lunar eclipse? July 28, 2018)Beginning at 6:17 pm., the Earth will start passing between the Sun and the Moon. From 8:27-8:55, the moon will be in total eclipse and turn a deep red color, 'the blood moon'.
After 8:55, the Moon will slowly come out of the shadows until 11:30 pm. which marks the end of the eclipse. The moon will be in the west, and should be easy to see if the clouds cooperate.
Unless something changes, we will have classes tomorrow, (Thursday). Enjoy the show!
