Don't forget about the lunar eclipse tonight!
The main event begins at 10:01 p.m. ET, when the moon is completely covered by the darkest part of Earth's shadow. That translates to 9:01 p.m. CT, 8:01 p.m. MT and 7:01 p.m. PT. The total phase of the eclipse lasts 51 minutes, and the moon starts coming out of the darkest shadow, or umbra, at 10:52 p.m. ET.

We never seem to have a clear night when these eclipses happen. And right now it's pretty cloudy. Oh well.

this will be one of the first ones that we get to see...
the moon is just GLOWING right now! not a cloud in the SE Michigan sky.
2 days from now, tomorrow will be yesterday.
