Lunar Eclipse tonight
There will be a lunar eclipse tonight, well in the early hours of the morning, with the full eclipse being between 3am and 4am approx.
I'm going to set my alarm clock to take a quick look.

Re: Lunar Eclipse tonight
Well I set my alarm for 3.15am and went out to be greeted with complete overcast sky...clouds everywhere.
And I spent the most of today feeling really half asleep.
I saw nothing. I'l have to make do with these photos taken by viewers that had a better view of the sky.
Apparently the clouds shifted towards 5am to catch the final parts, but I was back in bed by then.
Some pics from MSN here:
