Winter Solstice and Total Lunar Eclipse: Tuesday night, Dec. 21

Hi,

I celebrate the first day of winter because the days start getting longer.
This year, we also have a total lunar eclipse the same night. This is a rare event that has not happened since 1554.

There’s a total lunar eclipse happening across all of North America the night of December 21 While it may be happening a little late for folks on the East Coast, you might find it’s worth staying up for it. The eclipse will start to be noticeable around 1:00 AM ET, with the total eclipse beginning at 2:41 AM.

Next Tuesday is also the Winter Solstice, which marks the beginning of winter in the Northern Hemisphere (although it started a few weeks back for many folks!). The solstice is actually a very specific event and time. This year it’s at 11:38 Greenwich Mean Time (actually now known as Universal Time). . . .
So even though we’re still facing several months of cold weather across the US, we’ll soon see days start to get longer, and eventually warmer, from this point forward.
