Lunar eclipses are wondrous celestial events that have launched many
curious onlookers into the fascinating world of astronomy. On the
evening of February 20, 2008, viewers across the Americas and much
of Europe will be treated to the third total lunar eclipse in eleven
months!   

The eclipse will enter its umbral phase, as the Moon rises in the
East just after 6pm (PST). At about 16ยก above the eastern horizon
in the constellation Leo, and lasting just over 50 minutes in
totality, this eclipse should provide a great opportunity for some
detailed lunar observation.
