Its happening right now, and I can see it pretty good from where I'm at (East Coast US). I don't have a camera worth taking pictures for though. If anyone is in the region and wants to see it, do it now!
Ok I don't get what the big deal is. It was just a tiny moon with a shadow over it. There are some days where the moon is HUGE, bright and orange. And that is much more impressive than this garbage.
Seriously though, it's a big deal because it only happens once in a great while and it means the sun, the earth, and the moon are precisely aligned. Pretty cool if you ask me. If you're looking for amazing visuals, fire up some DM-Deimos in UT3 and stop complaining about how the real world doesn't live up to your expectations.
No wonder you think it looks good, you're freakin blind, you think a game compares to the real world.I thought it looked the best when there was just a sliver of light remaining and the rest of the moon darkened.

I need a DSLR camera. This was the best I could do with my Powershot G6.
