A total lunar eclipse will happen on saturday night and it will be a very spectacular scene to see but of course if weather cooperates and it will be seen in all of the US,the caribbean and southamerica.

Just hope no terrorist's get the wrong idea. Don't forget the Leonoid metor shower next week. Plus the solar eclipse in a couple of weeks.

It is definately a sight not to miss if at all possible.

I really hope that the moon has an ice crystal auro around it to intensify the image.

I will enjoy the view.....from my boat, no lights around to interfere. May even take my 35mm SLR and get some shots!

For me the good news will be that clear skies will prevail tonight so I will have a great view of it and this time it will be early in the night and not late as other eclipses haved been.
