Not sure if tech news or off topic or general news, Nevertheless, "Science" bit*h!

The second and final  total lunar eclipse of 2014 will occur early Wednesday morning, just before sunrise in the Eastern Time Zone and in the middle of the night on the West Coast.
The moon will appear a coppery red, so it's been called a "blood moon".
 
Officially, the total eclipse will start at 6:25 a.m. ET (5:25 a.m. CT, 4:25 a.m. MT and 3:25 a.m. PT) and continue until 7:24 a.m. ET (4:24 a.m. PT)
 
 





The eclipse will only be visible in its entirety from parts of eastern Australia, New Zealand, eastern Asia, most of Japan, the Hawaiian Islands and the western part of North America

 
 
Science behind the 'red' moon
 
Color shift happens because of all the sunsets and sunrises from the Earth that will reflect onto the lunar surface. (During the eclipse, although it's completely in the shadow of Earth, a bit of reddish sunlight still reaches the moon)

If you're in the central or western parts of the USA, you'll see the total eclipse high in a dark sky well before sunrise , Midnight Gamers! UNITE!!!

 

& Please don't try to take the moon pic with your smartphone camera..

CPU = A10 6800K (@4.3Ghz) / GPU = HD 8670D (@844mhz/ram@1866mhz) - 2016 ≠ Dual Cores - why learn Linux ? - OLD intel x4 cpu (Q6600) + amd HD 7950 - this is what i think on watts x dollar cost - CPU "bottlenecks" only start to show "at the super high end cards" (like the 390) if you have a 4 cores CPU

No clue when this is in europe, but thats pretty neat.

 

We rarely get to see things like this =(

 

I did actually get to see the moon like this once as a kid though, although it was more of a deep-orange and not quite red. Twas also huge o.Q

 

Definitely not something one ever forgets.

Even if it was visible in Europe, the UK is cloudy as hell right now so I doubt we'd get to see it anyway...

 

I love cool things like this. I've seen a supermoon quite a few times now, that's always awesome to look at.

Not coming to Europe I'm afraid, damn region restrictions!
