Californians will get their last chance for nearly three years to see a total lunar eclipse Wednesday night, but much of it could be obscured by clouds, weather experts say.

Unlike many lunar eclipses that require Angelenos to get up at 3 a.m. and stumble down the stairs to watch the moon transform into a reddish-orange orb, this will be a prime-time lunar spectacle - kicking off around 7 p.m. and lasting about an hour.

The next total lunar eclipse will not come around until December 2010, according to NASA.
