No, do not mistaken this for the title of yet another silly vampire movie.
There have been so much talk about it lately but I was not sure if I would be interested to stay up for it.

Singapore is usually located too out of the way geographically to be involved in any eclipse - lunar or otherwise.
This time, however, except for North America, the Lunar Eclipse would be visible practically almost everywhere!
From Africa to Europe and even Asia! Yes, that means Singapore too!
No wonder Twitterville was aflutter with excitement over this rare phenomenon which was set to occur this morning.
I do not usually moon-gaze but my interest was aroused when I knew that the moon would turn a scarlet red (as a result of sunlight refracting through the Earth's atmosphere, and more red light landing on the Moon than blue light) and it was gonna be the century's longest and darkest Lunar Eclipse.
You might want to know that this Lunar Eclipse is different from the Solar Eclipse in the sense that it is perfectly safe to watch with your naked eye and telescope is NOT required.
I shall be updating this blog 'live' with pictures of the moon taken from right outside my window for as long as I could stay awake and hopefully, bring some decent pictures to my readers.
