The remarkable congruence of a total lunar eclipse with the Winter Solstice occurs overnight tonight – actually early early early Tuesday a.m. where I am. At which point it will be Dorian’s birthday (Dorian was supposed to be a co-blogger here at the outset, but after a few posts he was distracted by something he calls a ‘job’. Whatever that is.)
Here are the times for anyone who’s interested in watching the once-in-456-year-event:
Partial eclipse starts:
Pacific 10:33 pm
Mountain 11:33 pm
Central 12:33 am
Eastern 1:33 am
TOTAL ECLIPSE STARTS:
Pacific 11:41 pm
Mountain 12:41 am
Central 1:41 am
Eastern 2:41 am
Total eclipse ends:
Pacific 12:53 am
Mountain 1:53 am
Central 2:53 am
Eastern 3:53 am
Partial eclipse ends:
Pacific 2:01 am
Mountain 3:01 am
Central 4:01 am
Eastern 5:01 am
And meantime, Happy Birthday buddy!
I’ve managed to do the blog and job thing so far.
