total lunar eclipse this wednesday

hope for clear skies this wednesday evening... especially if you live in the americas... and wake up early with clear-sky hopes if you're in western europe or western africa! people in these locations on earth will see the moon pass thru the earth's shadow, creating a total lunar eclipse!



if you're in austin, then enjoy the free public lecture at 7:30 and then head outside to view the eclipse!

we wont get another total lunar eclipse from the americas until night of december 20–21, 2010... so enjoy this one if the weather permits!
