To those of you who are living in the America's and Western Europe, tonight is a great night to bring heavy coats blankets out to your deck and watch the Lunar Eclipse tonight with a bottle of wine, grapes and smoke gouda cheese. The Lunar Eclipse will start at 9:01 pm ET. The total phase of the eclipse lasts 51 minutes, and the moon starts coming out of the darkest shadow, or umbra, at 9:52 p.m. ET.

Tonights Lunar Eclipse comes with an extra bonus. The planet Saturn and the bright bluish star Regulus will be formming a broad triangle with the moon's ruddy disk. Just note that Saturn's location will be depending on where you are located. Here is a map of what will be occuring tonight.

I will do my best to take a picture of the moon and post it on MsPinkBiik Photos and Videos. I am pretty excited!
