Total Lunar Eclipse tonight (Aug 27/28)

I would have missed a meteor shower a few weeks back had it not been for an OOT post, so I figured I'd return the favor.

The moon enters the Earth's full shadow, or umbra, at 4:51 a.m. EDT (1:51 a.m. PDT). It enters the total-eclipse phase at 5:32 EDT (2:52 PDT) and the event ends after sunrise on the East coast and at 4:22 a.m. PDT.

Those of you out west will be able to see it from start to finish, assuming the clouds cooperate. The east should get a decent chunk before sunrise mucks it up.

Cool

Seeing that it is the moon can I assume this is safe to stare at?

thanks

Thanks, I'll be sure to take a look at this tonight.

Yes, but is it of the heart?

Perfectly safe to stare at.

Judging by where the moon is in the sky, I think I'm going to have to go down the street to the cemetery to get a clear view, hopefully it doesn't cause any zombies.

To be safe I'd wear a bike helmet to protect your delicious brains.
