Total lunar eclipse - 12/21 ~ 2:40AM


Looks like we'll have a total lunar eclipse visible from all of North America this Tuesday morning (12/21, Winter Solstice).  Totality should begin around 2:40 AM EST and last through almost 4AM.

You can get all the details over on Space.com.

Enjoy Winter Break with a little astronomy, folks.  No special equipment needed to view a lunar eclipse (be safe if ever you check out a solar eclipse, though) so get out and check out the gorgeous moon.  I certainly will if we have clear skies.
