Lunar Eclipse TONIGHT!

LOS ANGELES - The last total lunar eclipse until 2010 occurs Wednesday night, with cameo appearances by Saturn and the bright star Regulus on either side of the veiled full moon.

Skywatchers viewing through a telescope will have the added treat of seeing Saturn's handsome rings.

Weather permitting, the total eclipse can be seen from North and South America. People in Europe and Africa will be able to see it high in the sky before dawn on Thursday.

As the moonlight dims — it won't go totally dark — Saturn and Regulus will pop out and sandwich the moon. Regulus is the brightest star in the constellation Leo.

Looks like partly cloudy here tonight. I may still be able to see it. Keeping fingers crossed.

Hopefully the fog will lift for you!

BTW, the shoot down of that satellite sounds like it will be delayed due to weather in the Pacific.

It was awesome! The skies were perfectly clear!

I tried to take some pictures but it was tough with the cold so I gave up...
