LUNAR ECLIPSE:  For the first time in many years, northern winter is 
beginning with a total lunar eclipse.  On Dec. 21, 2010, the date of the 
northern winter solstice, the full Moon will pass through Earth's shadow, 
turning the lunar orb a delightful shade of coppery-red. Sky watchers in 
North America are favored with an overhead view as the eclipse unfolds on 
Tuesday morning between 02:41 am and 03:53 am EST. Visit 
http://spaceweather.com for full coverage of the event including live 
webcasts, observing tips, and a look at the surprising connection between 
lunar eclipses and Earth's climate.
