Compliments of the Snooze Journal.

The moon is just about gone; the gods are hungry tonight. You can still catch glimpses of it in the cloud breaks.

The moon is about half gone, and the sky is clear as a bell. Go check out the eclipse!

Compliments of Tom’s Astronomy Blog, we have the excellent news of a full lunar eclipse tomorrow night! The eclipe will begin at 20:43, be in totality from 22:01 to 22:51, then end at 00:09 on the 21st. For those who aren’t into 24-hr timestamps, those time are, repsectively: 8:43PM, 10:01PM, 10:51PM, and 12:01AM.

The NASA Eclipse Home Page has a site dedicated to tomorrow’s eclipe. Check it out here. It includes the below visual aid to the eclipse timing:

I’m going to try to get some pics of the eclipse and will post as I get them.

UPDATE: The Bad Astronomer also notes the eclipse with the added information that this is the last total lunar eclipse we’ll see until 2010.
