On Wednesday evening, February 20th, the full Moon over the Americas will turn a delightful shade of red and possibly turquoise, too. It’s a total lunar eclipse-the last one until Dec. 2010.

FYI

Can viewing an eclipse make you go blind?

Never stare directly at the sun, even during an eclipse. You will get permanent damage to the eyes.

To observe the eclipse, use a pinhole camera to project it onto a wall or look at it through heavily smoked glass

FYI. Kindof ghetto source (Yahoo Answers) since any old asshole can comment. However, this one presents a pretty good solution that I’ve used before.
