Tonight all of Europe will be able to see a total eclipse of the Moon, weather permitting. Right now the skies are partially cloudy, but the wind is really moving them east, so Joel and I have reserved a carsharing car and we're heading up to La Chaux-de-Fonds to try and see it later tonight. The eclipse lasts a total of three hours, but the full red eclipse like the photo, will last one hour, peaking at 23:20 GMT, so 00:20 here in Switzerland.Strange to think that while we're here in the dark, everyone at home will be in broad daylight, enjoying the sunlight that simultaneously will be creating the shadow that reddens the moon. I love eclipses. Please please please let the skies be clear!
