The beginning of the total eclipse will be visible from northern Europe just before sunrise. The end of the total eclipse will be visible rising at sunset for Japan and northeastern Asia; it will also be visible in the Philippines just after sunset (as a partial lunar eclipse). It will be the first total lunar eclipse in almost 3 years, the last being on February 20, 2008. |

It was completely clear when I turned in earlier.... now it's damn near overcast with a few breaks in the clouds. I could see the moon every so often, looked awesome when I could see it. Darn weather forecast! Argh!

Good job Earth, moon, and sun. That's what I call teamwork.
