Total lunar eclipse late tonight (12/20)

For the first time in almost three years, there will be a total lunar eclipse tonight.  Here in Colorado, it should start around 11:30 PM with “mid-totality” at 1:17 AM (Tuesday morning, technically).

According to space.com, this eclipse is particularly unusual because it coincides with the winter solstice (the shortest day of the year) for the first time since 1638.
