Total Lunar Eclipse
Oct 8 @ 2:17 am – 7:32 am

Maximum eclipse is at 10:55am UTC.

Decent viewing from Western USA, Timor-Leste, Indonesia, Philippines, Laos, Mongolia, Vietnam, China.

*** TWO FOR ONE SPECIAL! ***

This night is also the peak for Draconids Meteor Shower, which would normally be fairly washed out by the full moon… but during the eclipse, you’ll have a better chance of spotting these 10 or so meteors per hour. Good luck!
