Lunar Eclipse December 2010 Visible on Dec 21
During the lunar eclipse the shadow from the earth will completely cover the moon.
These are the quotes from NASA with the details: "The eclipse begins on Tuesday morning, Dec. 21st, at 1:33 am EST (Monday, Dec. 20th, at 10:33 pm PST). At that time, Earth's shadow will appear as a dark-red bite at the edge of the lunar disk. It takes about an hour for the "bite" to expand and swallow the entire Moon. Totality commences at 02:41 am EST (11:41 pm PST) and lasts for 72 minutes."
Since the last lunar eclipse was in 2008 and the next on won't be until 2014 many folks will be staying up late to see it.
