It sounds like astronomical Armageddon, a total lunar eclipse while the full moon makes its closest pass by earth, exerting higher than usual pressure on tides, looking larger than normal, with a red cast to the moon. Oh yeah, and there were some good sized solar flares expected to reach earth this weekend too.
Weather permitting, we should be able to see the total lunar eclipse, exact at 7:37 PM, or you can just watch it on NASA TV where they'll be live streaming the event - including a feed from Griffith Observatory.
