The above schedule is a composite of unclassified information
approved for public release from government, industry, and other
sources. It represents the Editor's best effort to produce a schedule,
but may disagree with other sources. Details on military launches are
withheld until they are approved for public release. For official
information regarding Vandenberg AFB activities, go to

All launch dates and times are given in Pacific Time using a 24-hour
format similar to military time (midnight = 00:00, 1:00 p.m. = 13:00,
11:00 p.m. = 23:00, etc.). 

The dates and times in this schedule may not agree with those on other
online launch schedules, including the official Vandenberg AFB
schedule because different sources were used, the information was
interpreted differently, and the schedules were updated at different
times.

                         TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE
                           by Brian Webb

If the weather cooperates, observers in the Southwest have an
opportunity to view a total lunar eclipse on the evening of Sunday,
January 20.

The times of key eclipse events are as follows:

    7:33 pm   Moon enters the Earth’s inner shadow

    8:40 pm   Totality begins

    9:12 pm   Mid-eclipse

    9:43 pm   Totality ends

   10:51 pm   Moon exits the earth's inner shadow

You won't need any special equipment to view the eclipse other than
unaided eye. However, you will get a better view with binoculars or a
small telescope.
