Total Eclipse of the Moon
On Tuesday between 5:52 in the AM and 7:22 in the AM the Moon will be totally eclipsed.
I'll most likely get up super early to see it. Look below for a chart showing the times and stages of the upcoming eclipse.

EDIT: This isn't as cool as I imagined. All that happens is the moon gets blocked out. I'm still for it, but I've lowered my expectations.
Another Edit: It was actually pretty cool. At around 1:00 am it was really bright outside; as though it was dawn. Then, right at 4:51 the shadow starting creeping over the Moon. About an hour later, when the the eclipse was almost total, the Moon turned red. The bottom was a gold, coppery color and the rest was deep red. It was really neat to see. I am, however, incredibly tired.
