Blood Moon tonight!

Which I may not see, depending on the cloud cover. It should be something to see:

The moon will glow a scarlet color during this year’s first total lunar eclipse on Sunday — a stark contrast to its ordinarily milky white sheen. A partial eclipse will begin at 10:27 p.m. ET Sunday, with the total lunar eclipse starting at 11:29 p.m. ET, according to EarthSky. The total eclipse will end at 12:53 a.m. ET Monday, and the partial eclipse will end at 1:55 a.m. ET Monday, the site said.

BLOOD MOON. I just like writing that out.

Tweet of the Day, Time For SCIENCE! edition.

(Via @EsotericCD) Basically: start the video below, CLOSE YOUR EYES IMMEDIATELY, and listen a few times. Then tell us what you hear. I tried it myself, but my brain’s been contaminated by expectations at this point. You’ll understand after you watch the video. But CLOSE YOUR EYES the first few times! SCIENCE! demands it.
