<!--StartFragment -->Hey everyone,
I just happened to read somewhere that there's a lunar eclipse happening this week.. 15th to be exact. I had no idea, not sure how it slipped up without being noticed. Possibly because it's only visible (paritally at best) on the west coast).
It's only a Penumbral lunar eclipse and only the first bit is visible from Perth (if the computer doesn't lie), with the centre of the eclipse being at 7:48am and the moon setting at 6:16am. However, if you're interested, take a look:

I doubt I'll get to see it, I'll probably be stuck in traffic on the way to work.
