Lunar Eclipse Tonight!

According to this report from NASA, there will be a big ol' lunar eclipse tonight. Europeans and Americans have something to enjoy together, though Californians will be fashionably late to the party, and will miss the beginning.
On the east coast, the eclipse starts at 8:43, in Colorado at 6:43, and 78 minutes later, the moon will be completely in Earth's shadow.
So, if you're in Europe, set your alarms -- it starts at
1:43 Greenwich Time (2:43 AM in Germany, Austria, and Czech Republic) and achieves totality (where it gets blood red and spooky) at 4:01 AM CET.
Astronomy is cool.
