Least common lunar eclipse in North America?
The least common type of lunar eclipse in North America is a hybrid eclipse, which is a combination of a total and annular eclipse. This type of eclipse occurs when the moon transitions between being partially obscured by the Earth's umbra and then by its antumbra. Hybrid eclipses are rare and may not always be visible from North America.
Is there ever going to be an Eclipse?
There are generally two lunar eclipses and two solar eclipses each year. Sometimes you will see two partial eclipses instead of one total eclipse; in 2011, there will be four partial solar eclipses, and no total or annular solar eclipses. Since lunar eclipses happen on the Moon, they are visible from the entire night half of the Earth. Solar eclipses, when the Moon's shadow hits the Earth, affect very small areas of the Earth, and so they seem to be more rare. The next total lunar eclipse will happen on December 21, 2010, and will be visible from any point in North America.
