What happened

Partial lunar eclipse to be visible in US tonight: What to know A significant portion of the moon will be covered.

Why it matters

Common ground

The clearest point to anchor on is this: The 12th-ranked male golfer in the world will be watching the Presidents Cup from home this week. That would be J.J. Spaun.
