Lunar Eclipse Tonight!

Sorry for the late warning. I didn't get to check my nerd websites yet this week...:)
LUNAR ECLIPSE
There is a lunar eclipse set to happen at 9:01 CST for anyone willing to brave the cold (at least here in the mid-west). The moon should be a cool crimson color after the defracted light from Earth filters out the blue color.
Here is a rough estimate for viewing times across the US:
Another cool thing is the Planet Saturn will be just below and to the left of the moon so you can catch a glimpse of Saturn's rings if you have a telescope.
Enjoy!!!
