The last total lunar eclipse of the year will occur early Saturday morning.

And there won't be another for three years.

You can start to see the eclipse at about 5:45 a.m., and the moon should be in darkness shortly after 7 a.m. That's about the time the moon sets, anyway, but astronomers say it'll still be a sight worth getting out of bed for.
