Fucking clouds.The moon will appear reddened by a partial lunar eclipse that will be visible over Washington state around 3:16 a.m. Saturday.
There won't be a full lantern effect, but at 54 percent coverage, the color will be "pretty nice," says Judy Mason, secretary of the Eastside Astronomy Club.
Clouds permitting, the eclipse will be visible to the naked eye.

June Gloom
So, at 0316 (literally) we're contemplating sack time when we see this, leading us to put on shoes & go outside w/ camera in hand.

Resisting ICP reference... Clouds in LA?
The southern half of the moon will be shaded by the earth's shadow, a scene visible in much of the western and central North America, according to Joe Rao of space.com.
This guy's a local meteorologist, and an astronomer. He's a really bright guy, but (at the risk of being "lookist") he looks like an Oompa Loompa.
So you took the camera outside...but did you take any pictures?

"No Photos, Please!" Editor Answers:
Nope. We left the bunker around 2200 & Luna was right there in the sky, but by 0330 the marine layer ("June Gloom") was covering the sky, reflecting the sodium-whatever streetlights.
We thought of putting up a solid gray square as an illustration.
