Have you experienced a total lunar eclipse? No telescope required! 

Just bundle up and step outside at 3:45am tomorrow morning to watch the final phases of the partial eclipse leading up to totality at 4:04am (MST). The Moon will remain in Earth’s shadow for 59 minutes, with totality ending at 5:03am. The next lunar eclipse won’t occur in our region for almost 3 years, so don’t miss this celestial event.
