The Insomniacs

So apparently the lunar eclipse tonight is the first one to fall on Winter Solstice since 1638, making this the darkest night in 372 years. The eclipse starts tonight at 1:33 EST; the moon becomes fully covered for an hour starting at 2:41. There can be a “stunning,” “eerie” red shadow on the moon, and the top and bottom halves of the moon may look “dramatically different” — there’s “no way to predict” what it will look like. The NYC forecast is clear and cold.
