Saturday, March 3 is serving up one of nature’s very own spectacles, a total lunar eclipse during the full moon. The event will be visible from parts of all seven continents, but viewers in Africa, Europe and Eastern North America will get the best of the show. According to NASA:
“In the USA, the eclipse will already be underway when the moon rises on Saturday evening. Observing tip: Find a place with a clear view of the eastern horizon and station yourself there at sunset. As the sun goes down behind you, a red moon will rise before your eyes.”
Sounds pretty epic, doesn’t it? The NASA page also has a viewing chart showing roughly when the eclipse will occur all across the globe. Gaze at this week’s episode of The Map to find out about more lunar happenings. (via Gadling)
