Watch Tonight’s Lunar Eclipse Without Fear and Prove You Are Evolved
Isn’t it nice to be evolved? Sure, our ancestors shit their loincloths when they saw the moon turn red like blood during a total eclipse, figuring a sky dragon ate it, obvs. But you and I can watch it without fear from our own backyards or, weather or location not permitting, from our ingenious computerized viewing boxes. Of course, the way science education is going, your great grandkids will probably be back to the pants-shitting and dragon-explaining by the time they get around to viewing lunar eclipses, but that’s just something for you to chuckle at in your dotage. According to space.com, the coming lunar eclipse runs from about 12:53 a.m. EDT (0453 GMT) to about 6 a.m. EDT (1000 GMT). The eclipse is expected to be total at about 3:06 a.m. EDT, which may create a spectacularly beautiful reddish moon that lasts more than hour. It should be viewable in most of North America and parts of South America. Weather won’t be permitting in a lot of places, unfortunately. Where
