Lunar eclipse tonight

Last time I saw the eclipse I was sitting on soft cool sand between the man and the esplanade. Millions of stars twinkled around me, unfazed by the flaming art pieces scattered around our slice of desert. As the moon was completely covered, we heard shouting, commotion, and trucks kicking huge puffs of dust as they hurried past. A bullhorn: “The man is on fire! Everyone turn around. The man is burning!”
What a night.
The next lunar eclipse is three years from now, so it’s worth stepping outside. You can look at it directly without blinding yourself. The moon will be completely eclipsed from 7:01 - 7:51pm pacific. Aside from it’s beauty, you never know what could happen.
