Don Sausser snapped this photo of the moon setting around 5:30 this morning, in preparation for tonight's eclipse around midnight.

A total lunar eclipse in the wee hours of Wednesday morning should give Inland Northwest sky watchers a chance at seeing the moon bathed in reddish-orange light that passes through the Earth’s atmosphere. Forecasters are calling for mostly clear skies in the region. The eclipse color can vary from copper to blood red depending on the amount of dust or smoke in the atmosphere. The initial faint eclipse of the moon starts at 1:15 a.m. with the moon becoming progressively darker as the Earth’s shadow crosses over the full moon. The total eclipse begins at 3:25 a.m. and continues for about an hour/SR. More here.

Question: Do you plan to watch any of the lunar eclipse?
