Lunar eclipse tonight?

I'd heard that there was going to be a lunar eclipse tonight, and I wanted my kids to see it. What time is it supposed to start?

I'm not sure what time it starts, but it'll be at full eclipse at 5:44 EST. By the time the moon rises it'll be waning, but still visible.

We'll get a good view of it tonight from 20:18GMT. I'm getting on my hiking boots and going for a late night stroll in the moonlight.

I'm literally 0.1 seconds away from the heart of the countryside, with no streetlights.

...and here I'm thinking you're going to a Juber concert.

The AJC says STARTS at 5:44, full eclips at 6:21.

Dang. It'll still be light out in Chi-town. Anyone wanna do a time-lapse and put it on YouTube?

It was cloudy here till it was to late to see anything.

Now I think it was this past Tuesday that the Int space station went by overhead 6:40-44pm , 4 mins to cross the sky. It was amazing to see that zoom across the sky.
