LUNAR ECLIPSE: For the first time in many years, northern winter
is beginning with a total lunar eclipse. On Dec. 21, 2010, the
date of the northern winter solstice, the full Moon will pass through
Earth's shadow, turning the lunar orb a delightful shade of
coppery-red. Sky watchers in North America are favored with an overhead
view as the eclipse unfolds on Tuesday morning between 02:41 am and
03:53 am EST. Visit http://spaceweather.com for full coverage of the
event including live webcasts, observing tips, and a look at the
surprising connection between lunar eclipses and Earth's climate.
