Thank you to new member Mia Amore’ for mentioning the\u00a0Lunar Eclipse! \u00a0<\/p>\n

Here’s some more\u00a0information from Space.com that shows how special this event will be ~<\/p>\n

Total Lunar Eclipse Monday Night ~ The total phase of the eclipse will last 72 minutes beginning at\u00a02:41 a.m. EST or 11:41 p.m. PST on Dec. 20th ~<\/p>\n

During totality, although the moon will be entirely immersed in the Earth’s shadow, it likely will not disappear from sight.\u00a0 Rather, it should appear to turn a coppery red color, a change caused by the Earth’s atmosphere bending or refracting sunlight into the shadow.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Past and future<\/strong><\/p>\n

The last total lunar eclipse occurred on Feb. 20 to Feb. 21, 2008 and was visible from most of the Americas, as well as Europe, much of Africa and western Asia. In 2011, there will be two total lunar eclipses.\u00a0 The first, on June 15, will be visible primarily from the Eastern Hemisphere and will have an unusually long duration of totality lasting one hour and 40 minutes.<\/p>\n

Another total lunar eclipse will occur on Dec. 10 and will be visible over the western half of North America before moonset.\u00a0 For the next total lunar eclipse that will be visible across all of North America, we must wait until April 14 to April 15, 2014.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
