Lunar Eclipse Falls on Winter Solstice for First Time in Centuries
 Lunar Eclispe

 
As many as 1.5 billion people worldwide will be able to watch when the Earth's shadow creeps across the moon's surface early Tuesday morning, the first time in hundreds of years that a lunar eclipse will fall on the winter solstice. This year's event will take 3 hours and 38 minutes. The eclipse begins on Tuesday at 1:33 a.m. ET, when the Earth's dark-red shadow will turn up on the edge of the moon, according to NASA. It will take about an hour for the shadow to cover the entire moon. Totality begins at 2:41 a.m. and lasts for 72 minutes.
If you only have time for a quick look, NASA recommends that you take a peek 3:17 a.m. ET. That's when the moon will be fully covered in an amber light
According to Space.com. This particular lunar eclipse may be seen in totality from northern and western Europe, some of northeast Asia, Hawaii and New Zealand, but unfortunately it doesn't mention Southeast Asia Thailand or Cambodia. In total, some 1.5 billion people may have a chance to see the full eclipse, the website reported.
Check it out if you are in the right part of the world and snap some photos if you can..




Enjoy the Rest of your Weekend!!
