Lunar eclipse tomorrow morning. Google it! Boiled down, we block the sun from shining on moon for few hours.

Moon will set before sunrise so you'll need to be up early for that show.

Yeah, I was texting with a friend who mentioned it and he said 7:14 but I was like the hair on my
fingers have already grown and no way this low moon will last til then so we'll see...

If it's a clear sky where you are just after sunset tonight look for a Venus/Jupiter conjunction in the western sky.
Venus will be the brighter of the pair as the two appear to be close enough to 'kiss'.
A full moon will join them on Tuesday (3/7) but by then the planets will be drifting apart.

Some of your cooler celestial phenomena can be wrecked by full moons.
As for Jupiter kissing Venus, gross. He's, like, her father.

After two nights of total cloud cover (THU & FRI) plus one night of forgetting to look (SAT) I finally caught sight of the V/J convergence tonight (SUN) ... but they're already far apart as Venus, taking advantage of the inside lane, sprints away from larger, slower Jupiter.
But that doesn't mean that they don't still form a nice pair of bright beacons in the western sky shortly after sunset, to be joined by a full, or full-ish, moon over the next few nights.
