The last total lunar eclipse for several years. 8:43 PM is the start of the main event; totality is between 10:01-10:51 PM EST. The south's potential view is rated "excellent" for this one.

Unfortunately, the weather is predicted to be mostly cloudy in this neck of the woods. Too bad it didn't happen last night. Hopefully, all this wind will push the clouds out or at least provide a few windows.
