Watch the lunar eclipse Saturday! You know, if you happen to live in the right part of the world …

It’s the last total eclipse until 2014, so if you can swing it (and if you’ll be in the right part of the world to see it), don’t miss this one.

Above is a little NASA informative video, and here’s some helpful hints from Phil Plait on how to find out moon data for your area:

To see if you get a chance to experience this, check the time the Moon sets for you, the time the Sun rises, and compare them with the eclipse times from the NASA site (don’t forget to correct for time zone differences; Pacific time is UT – 8 hours).

And don’t worry, if you don’t happen to be on the right side of the planet to watch it, there’s live streamed space cameras here!
