OK, it’s just a partial lunar eclipse but given a clear sky, every eclipse is always exciting. Hopefully eastern Canada and the United States gets clear weather. The Earth’s shadow will only take a bite out of the top of the Moon. See https://www.theweathernetwork.com/ca/news/article/how-to-watch-the-july-4-penumbral-lunar-eclipse
There is another reason I marvel at viewing a lunar eclipse. Thousands of years ago, people looked up and saw a shadow move across the moon. They figured out it was the Earth’s shadow. And since the shadow was round the Earth must be round too! A fantastic discovery. It took thousand of years for everybody else to catch on. Well, almost everyone. https://theflatearthsociety.org/home/
The Flat Earth Society goes way back, well before the internet. They contend that we have been lied to by, well, you name it — scientists, government. mass media. Sound familiar? They go to great lengths to disprove all the data that shows that the world is round. This just shows that we cannot trust everything we hear or read. Maybe that is the true purpose of the society. To have a little fun while teaching a lesson. Or, maybe they are true dis-believers.

Yes, we should all be doing that so we have a clear data if/when we do get sick. Scientists are still trying to figure this out and the more data they get the better.
