Tonight... a Lunar Eclipse! For most U.S. states east of the Mississippi River, tonight's total lunar eclipse will likely turn out to be a total bust, while in contrast, much of the central and western United States will likely get a fine view of the "blood moon" in all its coppery-red brilliance.
The first total lunar eclipse of 2014 occurs in the overnight hours tonight and will be visible across most of North America, South America, Hawaii and parts of Alaska. Depending on your location, it begins either late tonight or in the wee hours of Tuesday, but as with every skywatching event, you can only see it if Mother Nature cooperates. Seems that along the East coast tomorrow's very early morning weather and cloud cover would prevent the show stopping event here.
Tonight's lunar eclipse runs from 12:53 a.m. EDT (0453 GMT) to about 6 a.m. EDT (1000 GMT).High tide:8:05a.m.
Low tide:2:02p.m.
Ocean temp:48°
Sunset:7:35p.m.
Moonrise:7:11p.m.
