There is a partial lunar eclipse tonight. It will be visible almost everywhere except North America. The entire eclipse can be seen from most of Europe and Africa and the western part of Asia.
The eclipse begins at 19:36 UT. Mid-eclipse is at 21:10 UT when 81% of the moon will be covered by the earth's shadow. The eclipse ends at 22:45 UT. You'll have to convert UT to your local time.
Sky & Telescope has details, including a map.
The next partial lunar eclipse in North America will be on June 26, 2010. The next total lunar eclipse visible anywhere will be on December 21, 2010.
