FYI

Total Lunar Eclipse: August 28, 2007
The second lunar eclipse of 2007 will be a dandy for observers in central and western North America before and during dawn on this date. Totality runs from 9:52 to 11:22 UT (2:52 a.m. to 4:22 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time). Again, compare these times with your local times of moonset and sunrise.

Observers near the West Coast will see the event in full, including all of the partial phases and the 90 minutes of totality. For the eastern US and Canada and much of South America, the show will be cut short as the Moon sets and the Sun rises.

This meteor show peaks on the night of the 12th/morning of the 13th. No moon at all, so that won’t get in the way like it did last year.
