    Coming this month to a night-sky near you... the Super Blood Wolf Moon. On 20/21 January there will be a total lunar eclipse, and most Zoochatters will get to see it (assuming they look up).

    There are some unfortunates who will miss out though, like me and @FunkyGibbon. And also everyone in Australia, but they don't matter anyway.

    There's a handy map on this page showing which parts of the world are most fortunate:

    If my irregular sleeping patterns (it's 07:30 here so I gave up already for now) weren't 1 day late I would literally open my room windows to get some fresh air and accidentally come across this.
    Too bad it didn't happen.
