Look up at the moon right now there's a lunar eclipse going on - it'll be bathed in a reddish light in about 1/2 hour from now. Currently about 2/3 of it has disappeared...
The say it'll be the best in years - especially since (here at least!) it's a clear sky tonight.

Seen that before at sea, never ashore though.
