Lunar Eclipse Tonite!

Many Earthicans are in for a rare treat tonight, the first total lunar eclipse to coincide with winter solstice in 372 years is scheduled to take place in the skies above North and South America, as well as parts of Europe and Asia (weather permitting).




From Space.com:
     On the East Coast of North America, the lunar eclipse begins half an hour after midnight on Tuesday; on the West Coast, it begins around 9:30 p.m. PST Monday. In all cases, the lunar eclipse will be observable before the moon sets in the west just as the sun is rising in the east. Maximum eclipse – the really cool part when the moon is totally in shadow – is at 3:17 a.m. EST/12:17 a.m. PST. [Complete Lunar Eclipse Guide]
