Eastern U.S., Canada will enjoy lunar spectacle during normal waking hours
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17299284/
Almost have 2½ years passed since the moon plunged completely into the Earth’s shadow. But if you live in Europe, Africa or the eastern half of North America, be sure to circle March 3 on your calendar.
Unlike an eclipse of the sun, which often requires a long journey to the path of totality, those of the moon can be observed from one’s own backyard. The passage of the moon through the Earth’s shadow is equally visible from all places within the hemisphere where the moon is above the local horizon. Moreover, coming as it does early on a Saturday evening, this eclipse should arouse wide interest among tens of millions of people in the Eastern parts of the United States and Canada who can see it during normal waking hours.
Same show for every viewer
