The "celestial excitement" continues late tonight/early tomorrow morning!  Post your pictures here!

If you want a science-y explanation, WIKI has a pretty thorough article...but for a quick sum-up, there will be a total lunar eclipse happening tonight. Around 1am, the Earth will begin to cover the moon.  Total coverage should happen close to 2am, so it's a bit late but should prove for some excellent pictures.

This lunar eclipse is somewhat special because it will created a "blood moon"...due to the way Earth's atmosphere scatters light, the moon will change to a dark red color, like this:
