Title: How cool is this?
Post by: mehan on December 14, 2010, 04:19:47 AM
This year we will have a solstitial full moon AND a total lunar eclipse.   If I have my facts straight this will only be the 9th time since 1793 that a full moon has occurred on the solstice - and pairing that with the lunar eclipse - well, that merits rising at 3 AM for a little sky watching, eh?

Very cool, indeed! It's almost time to get up anyway, so if it's not cloudy, I'll be checking it out!
