Not to be missed, a total Eclipse of the Moon is coming up on Wednesday evening, PRIME TIME for "kids" of all ages. The eclipse will begin at 6:45pm with the Moon in the East just after it gets dark. The total phase, where the moon will take on a reddish, coppery appearance will begin at 8:01 and last until 8:50pm. However, the moon is just barely falling completely into the Earth's shadow, so the total phase will not last as long as usual, make sure you catch it in that 49minute time span!

Lunar eclipses, unlike partial solar eclipes, are safe to view directly, with binoculars or a telescope. The next total SOLAR eclipse will not occur until 2045 in Utah, although there will be  a close pass to the north in 2017.

Enjoy everyone!
