For those of us not living in the US, or not wanting to stay up late, or even for those that want to work out the best time to go out to look (if it's cold where you are), http://www.stellarium.org/ is a free cross-platform planetarium tool that allows you to simulate the skies from your personal location and gives you loads of info to boot. You can also switch dark skies mode on if you install it on a laptop and take it outside without it destroying your night sight.

If you want to see what a lunar eclipse would look like from the moon's perspective, Celestia (http://www.shatters.net/celestia/) is a free cross-platform solar system simulator where you can go to the moon, set the time accordingly and watch the sun go behind the earth.
