   LUNAR ECLIPSE:  For the first time in many years, northern winter is beginning   
   with a total lunar eclipse.  On Dec. 21, 2010, the date of the northern winter   
   solstice, the full Moon will pass through Earth's shadow, turning the lunar   
   orb a delightful shade of coppery-red. Sky watchers in North America are   
   favored with an overhead view as the eclipse unfolds on Tuesday morning   
   between 02:41 am and 03:53 am EST. Visit http://spaceweather.com for full   
   coverage of the event including live webcasts, observing tips, and a look at   
   the surprising connection between lunar eclipses and Earth's climate.
