Total Eclipse of the Moon
A celestial event on the night of February 20/21, 2008 viewable from anywhere in the world except Asia and Oceania.
A Lunar Eclipse takes place at a Full Moon when the Moon moves into the shadow of the Earth cast by the Sun. This takes place at the same instant for all observers around the world!
Look 1 hour 20 minutes before and after totality to see the partial phases. In Western regions, the Moon may rise partially eclipsed.
3 years? BUT I JUST SAW ONE IN AUGUST!
Yes, there was a Total Eclipse on August 28, 2007. Eclipses run in cycles, as the moon does. Although there will be a few partial eclipses over the next few years, the next Total Eclipse won't be until December 21, 2010, when we will have 3 more Total Eclipses in a row over a 12 month period.
Of course, there is nothing to attend, just go outside and look up, wherever you are!
