>My wife and I went outside and walked for several miles trying to find the moon. The television news reporters did not mention the area of the sky it would be in.
A lunar eclipse can be seen anywhere where you can see the moon - basically, wherever it is night at that time. However, I heard the weather conditions in large parts of North America weren't appropriate for observing the moon.
In November there will be another total lunar eclipse.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
