BBC News and the Washington Post are reporting on predictions of a partial lunar eclipse, expected to occur 10 February. According to BBC News,

The eclipse begins at 22:34 GMT and dimming of the moon will start to become detectable with the naked eye after 23:00.

It is due to peak at 00:44 on Saturday before ending at 02:53.

Comet 45P/Honda-Mrkos-Pajdusáková, which appears green, is expected to make its closest approach to the Earth some hours afterward.

    If cloud cover has you feeling left out, these guys have a nice page. TimeAndDate.com [timeanddate.com]
    There's a map [tadst.com] and a SWF animation.

    They also have something I haven't seen before:
    a link for "Is this Penumbral Lunar Eclipse visible [where your ISP is located]?".
    That page lists local times for Start, Max Eclipse, Moonrise (for me), Max Visibility, and End.

    Hereabouts, it's mostly going to be below the horizon.
