FYI, there is a total eclipse of the Moon tonight.
The viewing gets better the farther east you are in the US. If you live on the Eastern seaboard of the US, the Moon will rise in 83% eclipse in Boston, 99% in New York, and in total eclipse for all points south. It may be hard to spot without the aid of binoculars because of twilight.
Viewers in Europe and Africa will also have favorable views. The Western half of the US and Asia are pretty much screwed.
