Happy Winter Solstice to everyone. This years solstice (tomorrow) coincides with a full moon and full lunar eclipse in North America. It hasn't happened in 456 year.

And my birthday to boot! This will be the only time this ever happens, because I sure as heck don't intend to stick around 400+ years for the next one.

I know what you mean. The wife, kids and I were planning an all nighter tonight but it has been raining for 4 days and wont stop for several more. No chance of seeing the moon here.

Same here in Northern Europe.
All of it only hours apart.
Happy solstice to all of you!

I was up fletching arrows most of the nite because I couldn't sleep. I went out every ten minutes or so to see how things were progressing. When the umbra (I think that is what it is called) was about a quarter of the way across the moon you could see that it was brown from all the dust in the atmosphere. I was bumping up the resolution by using my Nikon 12X binos to cut thru the foggy cover we had. When it was 3/4 eclipsed the cloud cover moved in and hazed it over so bad I could no longer make out the mares and craters on the moon's surface. From there on out, there was nothing to see, sorry - no pun intended.
