Winter Solstice

©

On December 21, 2010 something amazing is going to happen.  It is the Winter Solstice and a Lunar eclipse, something that hasn't happened for many, many years.  A lunar eclipse is when a full moon passes through the Earth's shadow.  The moon should appear coppery red, as long as the weather permits you to view it. From reading on various sites those of us in North and South America will have to be up very early Tuesday morning to capture this through your lens.
Winter Solstice is the day with the shortest daylight and the longest nighttime of the year and the official start of winter in the northern hemisphere.
