Here comes the Total Lunar Eclipse

That's right, Folks. We will be having a total Lunar Eclipse on the morning of Tuesday, August 28, 2007. You will have to have a good, low western horizon for best viewing of this event......and, of course, clear skies. The eclipse will start as the moon is sinking to the horizon on the east coast, with the moon setting while in Umbral eclipse (that is, when the moon is darkest during the eclipse). The harkening sunrise will probably brighten the sky before the moon sets, but I am willing to take a chance to see the event. I was able to see the lunar eclipse earlier this year, on March 3rd, when the moon rose while eclipsed. It only seems appropriate to see this moon set while eclipsed. The eclipse will start at 4:51 AM, with totality starting at 5:52 AM. You will have to set your alarm clocks early, but it should give you time to get to work after the event.
