Monday-Tuesday, Dec. 20-21: TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE IN ALL NORTH AMERICA

Well, it's been about three years since we in North America got to see a total lunar eclipse, but there will be one late Monday night-Tuesday morning:
 Earth's shadow will totally engulf the Moon from 2:41 to 3:53 a.m. Eastern Standard Time, or 11:41 p.m. to 12:53 a.m. Pacific Standard Time; the earlier parts of the eclipse start and end about an hour beforehand and afterward.
Alas, it looks like here in MN, it will be cloudy and not visible, but do check. The next total lunar eclipse visible in all North America will not happen until
April 14-15, 2014  :(
