Apparently there's going to be an excellent lunar eclipse tonight. These are caused by the shadow of the Earth crossing the moon (Sun > Earth > Moon alignment). This one will be fully visible throughout Western Europe, and the totality will be seen further east and as far west as mid America.
Here's to a cloudless night!

3 Mar 2007I've been nervously watching the sky all afternoon. Cloud, sun, cloud, sun, cloud, sun…I wish it would make up its mind :p Still, hopefully it will be clear for at least part of the eclipse.

Next one is in February 2008 i saw on another site, lets hope its clear skies for then too!
