On Wednesday evening, February 20th, the full Moon will enter the Earth’s shadow producing a total lunar eclipse. The Moon will begin to enter the shadow at 8:43 pm EST producing a progressing partial eclipse. Totality will begin at 10:01 pm. The Moon will turn a delightful shade of red when totally immersed in the Earth’s shadow due to the bending of our Sun’s red light by our atmosphere. At 10:51 pm the Moon will begin to leave the Earth’s shadow. If the weather permits, experience for yourself this awesome alignment of the Sun, Earth and Moon. This is the last total lunar eclipse until Dec. 2010.
