Don't Miss The Lunar Eclipse Tonight!!

Did you know that there will be an extra long Lunar Eclipse tonight!?!?  (Thank you Christine for letting us know!!)  Jay loves the moon, so we are very excited!  Ha ha we will actually wake him up tonight just so that he can see the eclipse! 

Tonight for the first time since 1638, the lunar eclipse will fall on the winter solstice. The significance of this is that the eclipse will be longer than normal. The Earth will be directly between the moon and sun for about 72 minutes tonight, from 2:41am - 3:53 am Eastern Standard Time. This is going to make the moon a rusty orange-red color for that time. It will be amazing! 

If the skies are not clear in your area, NASA will be streaming live video of the eclipse from their website.  But either way, I definitely recommend checking it out!!
