A most unusual Lunar Eclipse !

The Winter Solstice and a Lunar eclipse will overlap this year for the first time in 456 years! 

That means this very unusual event last occurred In 1554 AD.

Either way this is a rare event and one you should try to view if possible since the next time this will happen, according to NASA, will be in 2094.

According to one news article reporting this: “The eclipse begins on Tuesday morning, Dec. 21st, at 1:33 am EST...”
