Will anyone do a Time Lapse for me?
You can watch the Lunar Eclipse Tonight (well, early tomorrow morning technically) as it will be December 21, which is the Winter Solstice. Sky gazers and Astronomers will be able to see something occur that hasn't happened in almost 500 years. That being the full moon lunar eclipse occurring on the shortest day of the year, aka the Winter Solstice.
A total lunar eclipse, which occurs as the sun, Earth, and moon are aligned and the moon passes through the Earth's shadow, will be best viewed from 12:30 a.m. tonight and it will reach its fullness around 2:30 a.m., says Thomas Lee Hench, an associate professor at Delaware County Community College, in an e-mail. It will last until about 6 a.m. tomorrow morning.
"This eclipse is unusual in that it occurs along with the winter solstice (the first day of winter) and a full moon. While always interesting, this eclipse will be viewable in our area and at totality the moon will be bathed in ruddy light," wrote Hench, who teaches astronomy as well as technical and university physics at the college. "In earlier times, this reddening was view as related to blood with dire consequences for the people observing it.
So if it isn't too cloudy, check it out in person, or if you are not able to see because of bad weather, check out NASA.com for pictures and video of the event.
