Darkest Night in 500 years

"The moon will turn a rusty orange-red for 72 minutes from 2:41 a.m. to 3:53 a.m. EST"
Psst...those are prime sleeping hours young man.
You think I'll be up in 20 degree weather staring at a "voodoo moon"?

NYU science journalism professor John Rennie explains what you're likely to see in the wee hours of the morning:


1. Faint penumbral dimming of the moon's disk.
2. Pervasive creeping sensations of unease.
3. Howling of wolves.
4. Unclean things walk the earth; Dick Cheney rises from the grave.
5. Contortion of the zodiac.
6. Intrusion of strange dimensions.
7. Universal gibbering madness.
8. Cthulhu.
9. A glimmer of sanity in the chaos.
10. Restoration of Euclidean geometry.
11. Fungal Mi-go from Yuggoth return captive brains to their rightful owners.
12. Applause, followed by waffles for breakfast.

I love waffles!
