For those of you looking for things to do tomorrow night, how 'bout celebrating the
lunar eclipse in accordance with your pagan rituals.
Earthlings are about to be treated to a total lunar eclipse, just in time for Halloween. For more than an hour Wednesday night, the moon will be covered entirely by Earth's shadow and resemble a glowing pumpkin.
With the Earth passing directly between the sun and the moon, the only light hitting the full moon will be from the home planet's sunrises and sunsets, thus the orange and red hue.
It will be a late-night show for people in North and South America and a pre-dawn display early Thursday for those in Europe and western Africa.
A lunar eclipse is one thing, but if you really want to go for
rare, try the BoSox sweeping the NL in a World Series.
