   LUNAR ECLIPSE: Sky watchers on the Pacific side of Earth should be alert for a   
   total lunar eclipse on Saturday, Dec. 10th.  The disk of the full Moon will   
   turn a beautiful shade of copper-red as it passes through Earth's shadow   
   between 4:45 am and 8:18 am Pacific Standard Time (12:45 to 16:18 UT).  For   
   observers in western parts of the USA and Canada, the event will be magnified   
   by the Moon illusion as the morning Moon sets behind trees, buildings, and   
   other foreground objects along the western horizon.  Please check   
   http://spaceweather.com for more information and full coverage of the eclipse   
   as it happens.   
       
   If you appreciate these free alerts, please consider supporting    
   paceWeather.com by making a purchase from the Space Weather Store.  For   
   instance, there's probably someone on your Christmas list who would like to   
   receive a piece of authentic meteorite jewelry: http://www.shops
