Total Lunar Eclipse Saturday

Set those alarm clocks!!! A very rare sight early Saturday morning will occur as the sun, earth & moon will align creating a Total Lunar Eclipse. The eclipse will happen as the moon passes into the earth’s shadow. When all 3 align the sun’s rays will be blocked from the moon & create what is expected to be a brilliant orange glow during the eclipse. Oh, how early for those alarm clocks??? 4:45 AM the partial stage is expected to slowly start with the eclipse lasting until 6:57 am. If you sleep past this one the next chance to view this is not until Spring of 2014!
