+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:
+
+| Contact  | Time (PST) |
+|:--------:|:----------:|
+|   P1     | 00:02      |
+|   U1     | 01:09      |
+|   U2     | 02:16      |
+|   Max    | 02:59      |
+|   U3     | 03:41      |
+|   U4     | 04:49      |
+|   P4     | 04:56      |
+
+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.
+
+More information about contact points for lunar eclipses can be found in the
+Timing section on the Wikipedia page for [Lunar Eclipse][wp-le].
