Moon turns to blood
There's a total lunar eclipse over North America tonight. The moon enters the earth's shadow at 7:43 p.m. CST. Totality begins at 9:01 CST and ends at 9:52. The moon will be completely free of earth's shadow by 11:09 p.m. CST.
Tulsans seem set to miss the selenian show. As I type this, the sky is completely overcast.

UPDATE: Missed the whole thing. It stayed cloudy here. But I got to read this cool story about how Columbus used a predicted lunar eclipse to awe the natives and save himself and his crew. (Via Crunchy Con.)

I wrote about Christopher Columbus and how he used this eclipse to save his life and the lives of his men. And how Hillary Clinton is going to use it to win the Democratic primaries :>)
