Astronomy Picture of the Day has a story on this today and may have another story on it tomorrow, with pictures of the actual event. Go to http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap101220.html and mouse over the picture for more information.

Lunar eclipses are a regular and fairly frequent phenomenon, much more frequent than solar ecipses, and they last longer and are seen over a wider area.
 
the moon itself

the moon itself glows mottled blank
and never needs our words to thank
the lights that shine so bright at night
to guide our steps from wrong to right

but honeyed hunting harvest moons
in cold novembers steaming junes
are only in our minds as tunes
singing old delusional runes

when we look up and see it gleam
its meaning is only in our dream

I live an area with some of the clearest skies but... We will be totally clouded over this evening.
