I shouldn't be surprised (but I am) that the lunar eclipse happening tomorrow
|
||
|
|
morning has [its own Wikipedia page][wp]. It won't be visible at all from most
|
||
|
|
of Europe and Africa, but it will be from most of North America, and on the west
|
||
|
|
coast of North America, we'll be able to see it all. Yay!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
All the times on that page are in UTC. Here are some handy conversions (in 24-hr
|
||
|
|
form) to PST for those of us on the US west coast:

If these times make no sense to you, the eclipse starts at roughly midnight
|
||
|
|
tonight, the total eclipse is between 02:16 and 03:41, and it ends at 04:56.
