A total lunar eclipse expected to create views of a blood-red moon will be visible tonight throughout most of North America, weather permitting.

This is getting out-and-out Shakepearean! From Richard II ( 2.4.7-11,15):

Captain:
“The bay trees in our country are all withered,

And meteors fright the fixed stars of heaven,

The palefaced moon looks bloody on the earth,

And lean-looked prophets whisper fearful change. . . .

These signs forerun the death or fall of kings.”

And this lunar eclipse will take place at, let’s see, round about the 9th inning of the likely final game of the twice-red US “world” series…! :)
