Last Lunar Eclipse Until 2010

Viewing Wednesday's Lunar Eclipse in Palm Bay, Florida

I'm definitely not going to miss 2008's lunar eclipse, seeing as it won't be around again until December 2010. The best way to view the lunar eclipse is in a place that is open, and free from city lights. Use the lunar eclipse as an excuse to get together with good friends. I'm going to grab a couple of blankets, and set up camp right in my backyard. If you live farther away from the city, your backyard would be a good place to view Wednesday's lunar eclipse. If your closer to the city and lights heading over to the beach would be another option to view the lunar eclipse.
