Total Lunar Eclipse Tonight at 8:43 p.m.


We have some excitement in the air tonight. It looks like we will have mostly clear viewing conditions for the total lunar eclipse. Here is what it looked like back in August and it was simpy beautiful. Tonight since we are in the winter months look for a deeper red moon caused by a much stormier earth this time of year. You are in essence watching the shadow of the earth cross the face of the moon. Here are the details.
It begins: 8:43 p.m.
Totality: 10:01 p.m. to 10:51 p.m.
It ends: 12:09 a.m.
Please send in pictures and enjoy the show, but make sure to bundle up with plunging temperatures! I will also post who had 4 inches of snow below this evening. Thanks for all your support!

How beautiful! I could not stay up, last night, to see it (I work real early in the morning) - thank you for posting it.
I hope, in the upcoming days, we get more snow than ice - as the Wabash is not going down all that much (she is "stuck" under 14 feet).
Thanks for the great photo and keeping us informed!

When will we warm up? When will we see it finally changing for the better?
