Observers in North America will be treated to the first of two important Total Lunar Eclipses in 2003. The first of these will occur for most of the USA and North America on the night of May 15-16. This eclipse will favor observers located in the eastern USA as the moon slides into a nearly central passage of the Earth's umbral shadow. This type of eclipse (total lunar) is safe to view with the naked eye and is one of the most amazing sights to see in the entire month of May. "Dr.Sky" has worked hard to compile these important links that will help you in ALL aspects of this rare event.
PS- If you have any interesting pictures of the eclipse, please send them
