Dude! Like totally -- as in lunar eclipse
http://www.skyandtelescope.com/obser...252931091.html
April's full moon will experience the first of 4 lunar eclipses during 2014-15. It is predicted to be blood red color.
Hope the sky is clear wherever you are!

The same "blood on the moon" appearance reportedly occurred on the night of 14-15 April 1865, when Lincoln was assassinated.

And such will occur at an even infinitely more notable event in human history which will be the climax of the age (cf. Rev 6:12-14; Acts 2:20).

A total solar eclipse would be cool. The last you could see here locally I believe was in 1970. I was in a shopping mall and missed it completely.
They say if you're in the middle of it the day gets creepy, almost dark.

You'd almost have to plan a trip to a location of it's maximum totality. The zone is tiny and last only about 7 minutes. You don't have to be off by much to miss the full experience.

The path is less than 100 miles across but can be thousands of miles long. You want to as close to maximum length of totality for best effect. In 2017 the spot will be in South-West Kentucky. I plan on being there. I saw one in 1991 and still have vivid memories. An incredible experience.

Mars will be it's brightest in 7 years tonight when it lines up with the Sun and Earth. Look to the east after sunset, it will appear as a very bright dark-orange star. Don't forget your binoculars.
