(NASA)Turn Friday evening into a cosmic experience — a full moon, lunar eclipse and the chance to see a pale green comet as it streaks by Earth. Lunar eclipses occur when the Earth is optimally placed between the sun and the moon. Of course you can still watch, because the great folks at slooh.com will be webcasting the eclipse and the comet. Slooh’s live feed from various locations begins at 5:30 p.m. with the lunar eclipse. Facts do not lie, as the next lunar eclipse in this series is Feb. 22, 2035 — George Washington’s 303rd birthday.
