Just a bit of random info.... there will be a full lunar eclipse tonight and the moon will turn blood red for the best part of an hour. Can be seen in N. America and Europe. In the UK it will be visible about 3.15am which sucks a bit, but in N. America it will be visible around 10pm EST (and 9pm for CST, 8pm for MST etc, just work backwards)
Everyone at work laughed when I told them this, but hey I think that it's better than sitting on your ass watching TV. Have a beer, look upwards for a bit. Can't hurt any. It's the last full eclipse for 2 years. Make the most of what the universe has to offer.

Wow, I'll definately be looking. It's an interest for me because I have a love for astronomy.

It's pretty cloudy right now. Hopefully it clears up.
There's been a coyote epidemic around here. They've been known to attack people drinking Coors Light, so I'm gonna have tea.

Sadly, I didn't get to see it. I couldn't see it from my windows & it was way too cold to go outside. Bah!

I was too busy partying for my birthday so I didn't get to see it and the next time we will be able to see it is in December of 2010. PhantasmPhan

The weather by me was just fine, but I was rather distracted because there was a drug bust literally right in front of my house. But I did get to see part of the eclipse.

I viewed it, and it was really very interesting to see. I especially enjoyed how eventually the moon went deep red.
