Editor’s update for 2 pm ET: For the latest weather forecast for tonight’s total lunar eclipse, read: Total Lunar Eclipse Weather: Forecast Bleak for Eastern US<\/a><\/p>\n

No enthusiastic skywatcher misses a total eclipse of the moon, and if weather permits tonight, neither should you.<\/p>\n

The spectacle is often more beautiful and interesting than one would think.
