To the average damp Seattle dweller, life in eastern Washington's Moses Lake--complete with rodeos, farms, and arid landscape--may very well seem like a different world.

Tonight's sky should be just as active, though not nearly as much of a surprise. The last visible full lunar eclipse until 2010 takes place tonight and, weather permitting, should be in clear view for Seattle. The full eclipse will begin at roughly 7pm and should last nearly 50 minutes. Moon watchers are in for an extra treat, as Saturn should be visible too.
