4 total Lunar eclipses tonight

[Old Ironmaker]

According to what I read this morning there will be 4" Tetrad" eclipses tonight. There have been a total of 8 of this type of eclipse in the last 2000 years. My 3 year old great niece won't see another one unless she lives to 100. I hope it's not overcast. The article didn't say what time or much more than what I said here. Anyone have anymore info than that?

This was the third partial eclipse in a series of 4 eclipses this year, the last will be in September. The series of 4 makes it the 'Tetrad". This particular one was really not visible here as the moon was below the horizon.
