Total Lunar Eclipse on Saturday

Very cool but unfortunately not for here (Western USA) From NASA:
The next eclipse is right around the corner: Saturday, March 3, 2007. The phenomenon will be visible from parts of all seven continents including the eastern half of North America.

In the USA, the eclipse will already be underway when the moon rises on Saturday evening. Observing tip: Find a place with a clear view of the eastern horizon and station yourself there at sunset. As the sun goes down behind you, a red moon will rise before your eyes.
Here is the map of totality -- a larger version is available from the NASA link above.
