From the NASA site...
A total eclipse of the Moon occurs during the night of Wednesday, February 20/21, 2008. The entire event is visible from South America and most of North America (on Feb. 20) as well as Western Europe, Africa, and western Asia (on Feb. 21). During a total lunar eclipse, the Moon's disk can take on a dramatically colorful appearance from bright orange to blood red to dark brown and (rarely) very dark gray.
An eclipse of the Moon can only take place at Full Moon, and only if the Moon passes through some portion of Earth's shadow.

I went to my first Hanukkah party yesterday. We played Texas Hold 'Em Driedel and went home reeking of fried food smell. It was great!
'Tis also the season for Science Fair projects at public libraries around the U.S.
(And you thought it was the holiday shopping season!)
We had an interesting discussion today about a trial program we've been running on Yahoo and MSN, to show paid search results for meaningful content in Worldcat. Science Fair projects and related content has been the clear victor, in the results. Likely any Public Library Reference librarian who's driven the desk a year or two could tell you that, but it was good to see the online world bore out the same results.
Recipes were also a big hit--little wonder with the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday in November and baking season in full swing.
Dust off that online cookbook display and consider digitizing a few always-out cookbooks--people are looking for them online!
3. "Resume samples"
4. "Property Tax"
5. "Tax Forms"
rounded out the top 5 visit results. We limited this test to U.S. audiences only, if I remember correctly. Shows you what at least some of America is thinking about:
How can I do my holiday shopping and deduct it from my taxes?
I can't believe it---I was in Arizona doing some talks, figuring I had a better chance to see the eclipse here than in cloudy Ohio. So what happens? It was overcast and rained all night last night, so I missed it. Oh well, 2010 doesn't seem that far away any more...
