Today one of the shortest total lunar eclipse ever in several centuries will occur. Due to the Moon barely entering the shadow of the Earth, the total lunar eclipse will last a meager 4 minutes, 43 seconds!

I will be watching from home, where the eclipse will be perfectly timed at 8 pm during the Easter holidays. Members here at the American west coast/mid-west can see this eclipse in the early morning hours.

Anyone waiting to watch this one? :tiphat:

Most convenient eclipse I've ever witnessed! Didn't even have to leave my apartment!

Yea, I wasn't able to see the total eclipse either but I got this shot of the Moon a few hours before hand.
