Noticing the interest generated in the space shuttle return view thread, I thought I'd start one for info on tomorrow night's Total Lunar Eclipse. It is rare that we are treated to a total eclipse of the moon and well worth observing. This isn't as rare as a total solar eclipse, but is quite spectacular, none the less.
The eclipse begins just before 9 pm central standard time and lasts roughly an hour. Most of North America should able to see the totality event.

A lunar eclipse may be reddish in color if our planet's volcanoes have been quiet over the last year, yielding less volcanic dust in the upper atmosphere to deflect sunlight.
