Here is more eclipse info: "The lunar eclipse will be visible from parts of Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia, and peaks 2:20 p.m. EDT (1820 GMT). Even if you're not in the path of the partial lunar eclipse, Monday will bring a summer full moon to the night sky. Traditionally, some Native American fishing tribes were aware that sturgeon — a large fish that inhabited the Great Lakes as well as Lake Champlain — were most readily caught around the time of the August full moon, hence it became known as the Full Sturgeon Moon. A few tribes knew it as the Full Red Moon because, as the moon rises, it appears reddish through any sultry haze. It was also called the Green Corn Moon or the Grain Moon.
Did you know that today (August 7th, 2017) there will be a partial eclipse of the moon for those in the Eastern Hemisphere. See more at Space.com here
And two weeks from now (August 21st, 2017) there will be a grand solar eclipse -go here to see a map of where the total solar eclipse on August 21, 2017 is visible (thanks, Mahesh...)
