Newt's America.

​Earlier, we wrote about last night's GOP debate in Des Moines and Mitt Romney's proposed $10,000 bet with Rick Perry over claims that Romney's book was edited to change a portion about health care. This fleeting and insignificant moment overshadowed the real issues that were discussed by the candidates. That's right, we're talking about the moon and its precious moon minerals.

People in the Western part of the country were treated to a total lunar eclipse this morning. Luckily you don't have to be a resident of California or an early riser to see it--someone already videotaped it for you. Check it out above.

​Alert: There will be a massive lunar eclipse, today, the first in 2011! It will start at 2:20 Eastern time. However, you won't be able to actually see it in real life, unless you happen to live in the eastern portion of Africa, the Middle East, central Asia, or western Australia. North Americans have gotten screwed out this eclipse! Except, we happen to live in a time when the Internet knows no lunar eclipse bounds, and so, North Americans will be able to watch the lunar eclipse as long as they find themselves near a computer during some of the 100-minutes the eclipse will be eclipsing. Hooray for progress!

​Watch your head tomorrow (Saturday) night: our moon will be closer to Earth than it has been in 18 years. It has been dubbed a "supermoon," and will only be 221,565 miles (roughly 1,871,781,120 VHS copies of Teen Wolf) from us. Due to the timing of its perigee -- space talk for "closest point to Earth" -- the full moon will appear 14% larger and 30% brighter than normal. In other words: the moon's going to be pretty neat lookin' tomorrow.
