U.S. skywatchers who stay up late enough and have clear skies can see a total lunar eclipse, a rare event for the winter solstice.
The eclipse, caused by the moon going into the Earth's shadow, will begin at about 12:32 a.m. Tuesday in the Midwest, 1:32 a.m. on the East Coast, and 10:32 p.m. Monday on the West Coast...
The last winter solstice total lunar eclipse visible from the Midwest was in 1638 -- the next one won't be until 2094...Once in a lifetime kind of stuff out there. Good times.
