Get stoked, space nerds, there’s going to be a total lunar eclipse tonight. But also prepare to be disappointed, space nerds, because you probably won’t be able to see it.

Tonight will be the first of four eclipses this year and, as NASA reports, is in prime viewing location for people in North and South America. Unfortunately, due to heavy cloud cover expected over D.C. and the East Coast, it will be especially difficult to see it. Tonight’s eclipse occurs when the Moon’s “orbital trajectory takes it through the southern half of Earth’s umbral shadow.” The entire eclipse will last approximately 78 minutes, starting at about 1:58 a.m., with the eclipse reaching totality at around 3:07 a.m. Even though you (probably) won’t be able to see it tonight, NASA will be live-streaming the eclipse here.

If you’re bummed you probably won’t be able to see it with your own eyes tonight, fear not—the next one will happen on October 8, 2014. Hopefully the skies will be clearer then.

Correction: This post said that the eclipse would start at 11:53 p.m. EST and totality would be around 1:07 a.m. The eclipse will start at 1:58 a.m. EST and totality will be around 3:07 a.m. Also, the April 29 eclipse won’t be visible in North America. The next visible one will be on Oct. 8, 2014.
