There will be a lunar eclipse tonight at about 20:43 EST, visible all across Canada, and parts of the U.S. It’s interesting, because I just looked out the window and I see a bright moon in a clear sky. It’s going to be a very entertaining — albeit slow — experience. (This isn’t very relevant to the blog’s major topics, though.)

Sources say that at 22:01 EST, the Earth’s shadow will completely block the moon. Reddish light from the sun will cause the moon to appear eerily irregular. The Globe and Mail has an informative article.

Stay tuned… I will strive to take pictures and post them tomorrow.
