From nasa.gov:
In the late night hours of Feb. 20, 2008, a total lunar eclipse will dazzle the night sky. And this lunar eclipse may be worth staying up for, because it will be the last one until December 2010.
The February 20, 2008 eclipse will last for nearly 3 and a half hours. For a full 50 minutes of that time the moon will be in totality - the period when the lunar surface is completely covered by the Earth’s shadow.
Residents of the Americas, Europe and Africa will have the best view of this eclipse.
The eclipse will begin about 10:01pm EST/9:01pm CST.
