Tonight there will be a total lunar eclipse. The partial eclipse will begin at 21:30:04 UT and end  3½ hours later at 01:11:46 UT. The total eclipse lasts for about one hour; it begins at 22:43:49 UT and ends at 23:58:01 UT. The moment of greatest eclipse is at 23:20:56 UT on March 3. The eclipse will be visible over Europe, Africa, and the western part of Asia. Unfortunately, we over here in America will see only a part of it and only on the East coast.  For a more detailed schedule, click here.

My friends in Germany are in a slightly better position. I say slightly because, well, you never know what the weather is going to be. But in case they are lucky, we can share their luck: the Vereinigung der Sternfreunde ('Association of Starfriends', no really, that's the translation :-) ) will try a live report with photos, starting at 9pm MEZ. It should be understandable even if you don't speak German. You can find it on their website

We won't see it out in California. At least not like that.
