Lunar Eclipse

I just remembered [because my bro's been waiting for today for like months] that there's a lunar eclipse tonight... except it's like raining so idk if we'll get to see anything... but still... 7/7/09 = Lunar Eclipse~ I'm sure my bro's gonna wait for it all night tonight ><;

[Edit] I was just searching through the NASA website and read:
July's penumbral eclipse is only of academic interest since the magnitude is just 0.156. Although the Moon will be above the horizon from most of Canada (Figure 4), the eclipse is so minor as to be completely invisible to the naked eye.

Meaning we'll probably see nothing T.T... Oh well, we'll just wait a few days for the solar eclipse on July 22nd, 2009 [Edit: Apparantly we're not getting that full solar eclipse either... unless you're in Asia... Youtube ftw!]
