Winter Solstice Lunar Eclipse- insert Twilight joke here

Are you going to stay up tonight to watch the lunar eclipse?



In this part of the world, there will be a total lunar eclipse which is definitely interesting, but I don't know if it's worth sacrificing sleep over. However, the real reason to stay up to watch is because today is also the winter solstice. A total lunar eclipse on the solstice hasn't happened in 372 years! The pinnacle will be tonight (well, technically early tomorrow morning) at 12:41 am (MST), if you want to catch it.
