Get your moon on

It’s going to be cold as the opposite of Hell tonight, but I’ll brave it for some serious lunar eclipse viewing action if the skies allow. Here’s what you need to know (central time).

The partial eclipse phase begins tonight at 7:43 p.m., as the Earth’s dark shadow starts to cover the full moon.

The total eclipse phase starts at 9 p.m. and lasts to 9:52 p.m.; see how dark the moon becomes.

The partial eclipse ends at 11:09 p.m. as the full moon once again shines as normal.

If only they could time the satellite takedown so that it would explode right next to the full moon. Come on, America! USA! USA! USA!
