Thanks to NASA and UStream, you can pretend you're one of the lucky millions in the Americas currently enjoying the first 'Blood Moon' lunar eclipse. And you also get some space jams courtesy of American radio at the Griffith Observatory that the eclipse is being broadcast from.

The moon is passing fully beneath the earth's shadow between 8.06am and 9.24am Irish time, but the moon won't fully emerge until 11.37am this morning. This eclipse is the first of four in the next year (known as the rare 'tetrad' and won't happen again until 2032/2033). The next total total lunar eclipse will happen on October 8th, with the following two in the tetrad coming in April and September 2015.

Ooooooh, spaaaaaaaace. We're just about over Gravity enough to appreciate this.
