If skies are clear, observers throughout North America will see the total lunar eclipse on December 20-21, 2010.
The partial phase begins at 1:32 AM EST December 21 (10:32 PM PST on the 20th). During the next 68 minutes,
earth's shadow will move across the visible lunar surface.
Totality begins at 2:40 AM EST (11:40 PM PST), and lasts 73 minutes. It ends at 3:54 AM EST (12:54 AM PST),
and the partial phase will then unwind in reverse for the next 68 minutes.
The eclipse occurs less than 24 hours before the Winter Solstice, which places the moon just about as far north in the sky as it can ever get, well above Orion, and between Taurus and Gemini.
