Lunar Eclipse Coming soon!!!!

This is from the Science Centre:
On the evening of Wednesday, February 20th, the full Moon slides through the Earth’s shadow to create a lunar eclipse that is visible all over North America. There won’t be another total lunar eclipse visible on this continent until 2010. The eclipse starts just as the Moon starts to rise in the eastern sky around 5:40pm. When the Moon enters the Earth’s shadow, it will appear to change colour, becoming orange/red at full eclipse. This should last about an hour giving you plenty of time to get a good look and maybe snap a few photographs.
For more detailed information, visit the NASA eclipse page at http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/LEmono/TLE2008Feb21/TLE2008Feb21.html
