NASA says it'll be in full eclipse starting at 2:41 a.m. and then the shadow will start slipping off the moon at 3:53 a.m.</p><p>Welcome to the shortest day of the year! Now... time for bed.</p><p><strong>December 20th, 1:12 p.m.</strong></p><p>It's not as special as a solar eclipse, which happens in one spot (say in Detroit, MI) around once every several hundred years, but a lunar eclipse is still pretty cool. Even if it does happen around twice a year.</p> Mon, 20 Dec 2010 18:12:01 +0000 Mark Brush 652 at http://michiganradio.org Lunar eclipse tonight
