Lunar Eclipse December 21 210





Today in the early hours of the morning, 1:30 to be exact we got to witness a rare spectacle. A total lunar eclipse which coincided with the winter solstice. The last time this occurred was December 21, 1638 - 372 years ago and will not occur again until December 21, 2094.
I had to borrow the photo above because our camera would not capture the beautiful copper color of the moon.
The skies were clear here in Daytona Beach and it was a rare and beautiful spectacle which lasted roughly three hours.
