    Total Lunar Eclipse, December 10, 2011

    DateFriday, December 9, 2011 at 9:40AM

    If you're like me and you like stargazing, and looking for other rare astral phenomena, you are in for a treat tonight (assuming you're on the right part of the planet!). In the early hours of December 10, 2011, there will be a total lunar eclipse, and if that wasn't cool enough, it will be the last total lunar eclipse for the next three years. So, if you're in spot where you can see it, and the weather is just right, get out there, and don't miss it!

    See you on the dark side of the moon!

    Yeah, it's going to be an early morning. That's stargazing for you! :)

    Also, readers, if you're in the SoCal region, here's some good tips about when and where to look: http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2011/dec/08/get-ready-weekends-super-sized-lunar-eclipse/?sciquest

    Had the good fortune to have a great spot to view the eclipse up on the Laguna Crest last night, and it was amazing!

    If you missed it, or couldn't see it, check out these photos here: http://news.yahoo.com/photos/lunar-eclipses-1323283069-slideshow/

    And get ready for 2014!
