Fun for the sleep deprived: Blood moon rising

Psssstttt... are you still awake?? All you insomniacs and uber-early risers are in for special moon effects early-early this morning.

Take a peek out the window around 5 - 6:20am today (Tuesday) and watch as the moon passes through the Earth's shadow and turns a lovely copper-red. Grab those binoculars and a Super Sized coffee as you won't be getting mooned like this again until 2011. We heart lunar eclipses (and our snooze button).
