It's over this time but there will be another one in August. Read below.
A lunar eclipse occurs whenever the Moon passes through some portion of the Earth's shadow. This can Occur only when the Moon is full, and when the Sun, Earth and Moon are aligned exactly, or very closely so. The type and length of a lunar eclipse depends upon the Moon's location relative to its orbital nodes. The current total lunar eclipse which is taking place right now (3rd March 2007 lunar eclipse) is fully visible over Europe and Africa and at least partly visible over the eastern Americas, Asia, and western Australia.[1] The moon entered the penumbral shadow at 20:18 UTC, and the umbral shadow at 21:30 UTC. The total phase lasted between 22:44 UTC and 23:58 UTC. The moon left the umbra shadow at 01:11 UTC and will leave the penumbra shadow at 02:24 UTC 4 March 2007.
The next lunar eclipse will occur on 28 August 2007.

Unlike solar eclipses, lunar eclipses are perfectly safe to view with the naked eye.
The Moon does not completely disappear as it passes through the umbra because of the refraction of sunlight by the Earth's atmosphere into the shadow cone. The amount of refracted light depends on the amount of clouds or dust in the atmosphere, and this light causes the Moon to glow with a coppery-red hue that varies from one eclipse to the next.
The following scale (the Danjon scale) was devised by André Danjon for rating the overall darkness of lunar eclipses:[2]
L=0: Very dark eclipse. Moon almost invisible, especially at mid-totality.
L=1: Dark Eclipse, gray or brownish in coloration. Details distinguishable only with difficulty.
L=2: Deep red or rust-colored eclipse. Very dark central shadow, while outer edge of umbra is relatively bright.
L=3: Brick-red eclipse. Umbral shadow usually has a bright or yellow rim.
L=4: Very bright copper-red or orange eclipse. Umbral shadow has a bluish, very bright rim.
oh, and there;s another eclipse on 2025 so you;d better not miss it!

It's when the Earth's shadow goes across the moon.
It's over now.
