Another lunar eclipse!

You don't need to go anywhere! Chicagoland (and all of North America) will experience a total lunar eclipse on March 3rd between 3:50am and sunrise. Totality is from 5:04 to 603am.

I'm hoping various venues in Chicago will host events for this. I'll add them as I find out about them.

So far NIU has announced an event at their DeKalb Observatory starting at 3am.
