NYC Total Lunar eclipse December 21, 2010 Winter Solstice

NYC Total Lunar Eclipse December 21, 2010.

 

The eclipse of December 21 2010 Tuesday morning was the first total lunar eclipse to occur on the day of the Northern Winter Solstice - the shortest day and longest night of the year (Southern Summer Solstice) since 1638 (first time in 372 years), and only the second in the Common Era. That will not happen again until 2094.
