| Lunar Eclipse step by step Photo |
The combination of photographs show the gradual lunar eclipse ending with a total eclipse as seen over the skies in Great Falls, Virginia, just outside Washington, early December 21, 2010.
During the eclipse, the Earth lined up directly between the Sun and the Moon, casting Earth’s shadow over the Moon.
The lunar eclipse 2010 is certainly an event worth checking out. Areas that are experiencing rain, snow or otherwise non-clear viewing conditions can look online for live feed video to watch it all take place.
This lunar eclipse is total and falls on the winter solstice, that make it rare. This combination is happening after hundreds of years.
Neil deGrasse Tyson, director of the Hayden Planetarium in New York, tells MSNBC that the eclipse begins at 12:29 a.m. ET and takes five and a half hours to get through the 12 stages of the eclipse.
Tyson recommends watching the lunar eclipse at its peak on the East coast – 2:45 to 3:00 in the morning.Watch the video below.
