Clouds Threaten Lunar Eclipse View

Cloudy skies tonight could shield the Inland Northwest from the first total lunar eclipse in nearly three years, forecasters said. The eclipse comes within hours of the winter solstice at 10:16 a.m. Tuesday, which is the official start of winter. The partial phase of tonight’s eclipse begins at 10:33 p.m. The moon enters its total eclipse when the Earth’s shadow passes across the face of the full moon at 11:41 p.m. The total lunar eclipse typically shades the darkened moon in a coppery or rusty glow due to sunlight passing through the Earth’s atmosphere/ Spokesman-Review .

Question: Are you looking forward to tonight’s lunar eclipse? Or already regretting that the cloud cover may block your view of it?
