A View from the Back Bay
My name is Skip Pile, living in Boston and Nantucket Island and generally watching closely from a distance.
Dark Night.
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. With the full moon high in the winter sky, the lunar eclipse will be visible from four continents, with the best views from North America and Central America if weather permits, scientists say.
NASA has some very cool tracking sites set up.
