Lunar Eclipse Falls on Winter Solstice for First Time in Centuries

[LizardMan]

As many as 1.5 billion people worldwide will be able to watch when the Earth's shadow creeps across the moon's surface early Tuesday morning, the first time in hundreds of years that a lunar eclipse will fall on the winter solstice.

With the full moon high in the winter sky, the lunar eclipse will be visible from four continents, with the best views from North America and Central America if weather permits, scientists say.

Hey Lizard, you beat me to the punch in posting this one! And you can count on this "old stargazer" being there to see it. Should be awesome as the sky is very clear at this time of the year, because of the cold temperatures. Unless its cloudy and snowing.

I remember that night and it was cloudy here as well. Too bad, I would have loved to see it. Thanks for the video LizardMan!
