Viewer’s guide to the winter solstice lunar eclipse

 

December 20, 2010 – 1:41 pm

 

According to NASA, for the first time in 362 years, a lunar eclipse will coincide with the winter solstice. Our graphic below breaks down the mechanics of the eclipse and the best time for viewing (you’ll be up late tonight!).

I'll wait for the next one.

 

I hope the sky is clear enough too. Got my glass out for this.

It was really cool!

Woke up my wife and 3 year old son last night to watch it. Sky was pretty clear, but a bunch of clouds rolled in just as it was getting to total eclipse. Still got to see it pretty good though!

We had a perfect view down in South Calgary.

 

My oldest boy I think stayed up until it was under way and then made it his mission to wake everyone up to see. It was very cool... Saw it go from dark to red to the sun hitting it again. Glad I got to see it.
