Well, for those who are into these things (and who have a clear sky
tonight), there is a lunar eclipse at the moment.  What's special
about this one is that it's a penumbral eclipse in which the entire
Moon enters the penumbra, but none of the Moon enters the full shadow.
Such an eclipse only happens 5 times this century, and the next one
is on August 29, 2053.

Too bad it's cloudy here.
