In the wee hours of the morning tonight, from about 1:30am to 5:00am EST, there will be a spectacular full lunar eclipse visible from all of North America and parts of South America. And the special part of this eclipse is that it falls on the Winter Solstice for the first time in over 400 years!
Find out more specific, scientific details on the eclipse on
The Big Think (one of my favorite science geek blogs, btw) and be sure to set the alarm for a couple of viewing in the night.
Hugs,
