Okay, folks. For those of you who haven’t heard, there’s a lunar eclipse on April 15th (the beginning of the 15th, not the end).
People in the westerly parts of North America with roughly ordinary (by industrialised standards) sleep schedules will get a good show. People in the easterly parts of North America with nocturnal sleep schedules (or who stay up late for the occasion) will also get a good show. Europeans are likely out of luck, but may see something just before dawn. (See map and time chart for more details.)
(I personally live in the Eastern time zone and sleep from midnight to 9, and haven’t decided if I’m willing to stay up for it. If you’re in the same boat and decide it’s not worth staying up half the night, the September 28th, 2015 eclipse is much more conveniently timed: 9:07 PM – 12:27 AM EDT. There are also two other lunar eclipses between now and then that people missing this one (or even people not missing this one) may want to look into. (We’re having an unusually large number of lunar eclipses over the next couple years.))
