This weekend, many skygazers will have the opportunity to view a total lunar eclipse, something that hasn’t happened since October of 2004. Although the best viewing will be for those in Europe, Africa and western Asia, viewers in the eastern United States and Canada will still be able to enjoy part of the show. The moon will rise before dawn on March 4th, for viewers across the pond, allowing a full eclipse show, while for those of us in eastern North America, the moon will already be in totality when it rises, at 6:21 PM for instance, in Columbus, Ohio. Let’s hope for some clear weather!
