Lunar Eclipse June 4th

For those of who have to be up at that hour, the drive to work early next Monday, June 4th, will have a special treat.  The full Moon will be eclipsed by the Earth's shadow that day.

According to Space.com, the partial eclipse of the Moon will begin at approximately 6am, as the Moon is setting in the West.  Only about a third of the Moon will be blocked out by the Earth's shadow.
