Libertas:
Y'all can go out side and check it out...

If I am doing my UT conversion right...peak is about 11pm tonight CT (-6UT).

...I'll look from the dang window...it's stupid cold here.

Pandora:
It will be stupid cold -- for here -- tonight, teen-temperatures expected.

Libertas:
Caught a quick glimpse before bed, swell.  Got up early as normal, had to pick up my father for some outpatient cataract surgery, one whole degree this morning... now a balmy 3.

John Florida:
  I went out late last night it was cold as hell but interesting to see.  I think I was out there long enough to smoke half a cigarette and flew back inside.

Libertas:
I think your overnight temps are above freezing now...which should take some of the sting out of going outside...

But no more lunar eclipse until a penumbral on July 5th visible mostly in eastern half of US and a full on May 26th 2021 most in the states can see.  There will be a total on May 16th 2022 for the eastern US and another one like that on November 8th 2022.

And as far as daylight action we don't get a sniff of a solar eclipse until an annular on October 14th 2023 for the western US and a partial for the rest of the country and a total eclipse on April 8th 2024 for the central US and a partial for the country.  I'm really looking forward to this latter one!

On the night of the 30th the conjunction of the Moon and Jupiter occurs...23:54 (UTC) which for you should be just before dawn at 4:02 looking SE 27 degrees from the horizon (more than thumb-pinky spread-see below) so you should be able to finish a whole one at that time.
