And The Moon Will Glow Red With Fire
If you’re trying to trick a tribe of aboriginal people, or maybe just fool your friends down at the pub, tomorrow night might be your best chance. Tell them to look up at the night sky about 10pm EST and “behold … the wrath of the Gods have turned the moon red with anger,” so they should give up their native lands to you or pay you that fiver they owe you from the Super Bowl pool.
Wednesday night will be a big night for star gazers, bringing a spectacular full lunar eclipse that will start around 8:45 on the East Coast and should reach full effect an hour or so later. The entire event is supposed to last a little more than three hours. The lunar eclipse will be visible throughout North and South America, and in parts of Europe and Africa, weather permitting.
According to Sky and Telescope this will be the last total lunar eclipse that will be visible in North America until late in 2010, so get out there tomorrow night or be prepared to wait a good long time to see the next one.
