Lunar Eclipse...
I hope that if you are reading this, and you are in North America (not sure who else can see this), you are taking the time to glance at the moon every now and then...
We are seeing a really nice full eclipse tonight...

The Post said the moon was supposed to turn a redish color. Anyone seeing it? It's as white as I can ever recall.

It's because the earth's shadow is much longer than that of the moon. Here's a pretty good link of the explanation. |
