Lunar Eclipse Tomorrow

Tomorrow night is a lunar eclipse:

The moon will be full, Saturn will be closer to the moon, and the Earth will cast shadows on the moon, and there will be less conflicting or reflected light, causing it to be darker, Haynes said.

The lunar eclipse should be viewable in the Western United States, Haynes said.

“Anyplace you happen to be, you can see it where you are, that part is rare,” Haynes said. “Next year, it could only be viewable in the summer in China.”

The next lunar eclipse for the western United States will be in 2010.

And on a side note--the Phoenix Suns play the Lakers.  Shaq-Kobe for the first time with Shaq as a PHX Sun.  It is go time.  Stretch run.  I will try to sneak out and see it at halftime.

Here’s a pic of Saturn appearing close to the moon:

They have said that if you have a decent telescope, you will be able to see the rings of saturn.  It is way too cold outside for me to take out my telescope.  They said it will be -25 below outside tonight.  I will have to watch from my window.
