How cool is this?

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!

Oooh... definitely sounds worth the lost sleep!  Thanks for the link!
