TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE MOON: There's a total eclipse tonight--and it's going to be super. On Sunday evening, Jan. 20th, Earth's shadow will engulf the full Moon, transforming the grey lunar disk into a coppery-red orb. This happens while the Moon is near perigee, its closest point to Earth, making this a "supermoon eclipse." Find out when and where to look on today's edition of Spaceweather.com.
