If you’re not from those parts, Google and Slooh have prepared a myriad of options that let you enjoy the lunar eclipse from the relative safety of your couch.
Perhaps the simplest way to watch the lunar eclipse is to tune into the live streaming video on Google’s official YouTube channel.
You can also follow the event on Slooh’s mission interface, together with narration from astronomers, or you can watch it from the Sky layer in Google Earth by downloading this .kml file. Finally, you can see images from the eclipse on your Android phone by downloading the Slooh Space Camera Android app.
Can’t wait for the eclipse to start? Here are some pictures posted by Twitter users during last December’s eclipse:
