Later today, people on every continent except North America will witness a lunar eclipse. At maximum, around 2110 UT (5:10 pm EDT) on Saturday, Aug. 16th, more than 81% of the Moon will be inside Earth's shadow, producing a vivid red orb visible to the naked eye even from light-polluted cities.
The eclipse lasts for more than three hours (19:36 UT to 22:44 UT),
According to this map, both Culebra and Maine should see at least part of this eclipse.

| Six of us are doing a full moon float tonight starting at 730 EDT. Evidently we'll see nothing, but, in truth, we need the light for navigation.
