(CBS/What’s Trending) â€" No the moon isn’t turning red with rage: It’s just a total lunar eclipse.
YouTube is live streaming the event for your viewing pleasure. It doesn’t change that quickly, but you can check in every few minutes to see the current dark side of the moon.
There’s also an Android app for people on the go, but it begs the question: If you’re outside and on your phone, why don’t you just look up at the sky? While you’re outdoors, snap a picture and send it to Wired. They’re compiling a collection of user submitted photos from today’s eclipse.
Or, if you’d prefer a more artistic rendition, Google Doodle is featuring a special animation on the Google homepage.
You’ve still got time to run out and witness the event for yourself, so take your lunch break now. Today’s lunar eclipse is set to be the longest in ten years. And, if you miss this one, there’s going to be another on on December 10, 2011.
