Lunar Eclipse Puts on a Show

People with clear skies Thursday night were treated to a total lunar eclipse. The eclipse began at 0203 (10:03pm EDT) and ended approximately three hours later. The weather wasn?t entirely cooperating; however, many astrocameras poised around North America and Europe ended up being rained out. The next lunar eclipse will be on November 9, 2003, and will be visible from roughly the same parts of the Earth ? only this time it?ll be brighter.
