Dreamy Lunar Eclipse

Take a nap RIGHT NOW, even if you’re at work. Start drinking espresso around midnight and then scout out a place to watch the total lunar eclipse, which begins at 12:52 am PDT, August 28, 2007. We West Coasters will have the best view in the world so when the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, don’t let it pass you by. You probably won’t notice anything spectacular until the visible change in colors occurs at 2:52 am PDT. The metamorphoses will then last for 90 minutes. During this time, the moon will turn from gray to sunset-red. So grab a bottle of wine, and drink to the moon.
