LUNAR ECLIPSES

ON THE WINTER SOLSTICE OF DECEMBER 21ST THERE WAS A TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE. THE MOON WAS RED AND BROWN AND DISAPPEARED BEHIND THE SHADOWS OF THE EARTH. IT WAS AN INTERESTING ECLIPSE SINCE THE MOON IS AT IT'S HIGHEST POINT IN THE SKY. IT IS THE 1ST TIME IN 400 HUNDRED YEARS THAT IT HAS HAPPENED ON THE WINTER SOLSTICE! THERE WAS ANOTHER LUNAR ECLIPSE IN JUNE ON THE 26TH. THIS ONE COVERED 54% OF THE MOON SHADOW. THE ECLIPSE IS PART OF A LUNAR SAROS 120 SERIES REPEATING EVERY 18 YEARS AND 10 DAYS. THE FINAL PARTIAL LUNAR SAROS 120 SERIES REPEATING EVERY 18 YEARS AND 10 DAYS. THE FINAL PARTIAL LUNAR ECLIPSE WILL OCCUR IN JULY 2064
