Was at the Chicago Wolves game tonight (more on that later) but I HAD to step outside the building to take a look at something - a lunar eclipse, the last one until December 2010 (there is a possibility of a lunar eclipse happening every six months, though it may not be visible from you location, but there's something about the plane of the orbits being off so it won't happen for a while)
Additional cool thing - to the left of the moon was Saturn and sort of above was the star Regulus (a second magnitude star also known as Alpha Leonis approximately 77.5 light years away in the constellation Leo, if you must know).
I caught it just after it was the peak ( I had forgotten about it during the game). The eclipse started at 7:45 pm local, ended at 11:09 local with the peak at 9:01 local.
