Total Lunar Eclipse tonight

Our family plans to get up in the middle of the night tonight (wee hours of Tuesday 28 August) to see the total lunar eclipse. Here are all the details. The moon enters earth's full shadow at 1:51am (PDT) and leaves again at 5:24am, being totally within from 2:52am to 4:22am. (See under "Lunar Eclipse Diagrams" for other time-zones.) The moon is expected to be red during this time, as it collects refracted light from all the sunrises and sunsets occurring around the world! You should also be able to see the curved shadow, and witness in one of the most direct fashions possible that the earth is round and not flat.

Enjoy, and give God the glory.
