Just got  in from looking at the moon tonight: We've got a total Lunar 
eclipse, and  it's happening when the moon is at its closest approach 
to the earth. This  is called a "Super Moon" so what we've got is a 
total eclipse of a Super  Moon. If you're anywhere from the US 
mid-plains east to central Europe,  you should take a look, now. If 
your sky is clear, you get to see it,  too.   

Melissa says this is the last one we're likely to see  in our 
lifetimes. Around the world these are fairly common, but there  won't 
be another one visible from this part of the Earth until something  
like 2033.  
 
Yup, we've been watching it since about 7:30, Started out as a large  
"white" moon, then started changing to orange, and now the bottom is going back  
"white". Pretty cool to see. I don't know if I was able to see it back in 
1982  or not (might have been too cloudy). We had a bunch of clouds moving in 
earlier,  but they passed quickly.
