Eclipse of the Moon is beautiful this time, because the eclipse shadow will fall on the month at around 1:33 PM EST tonight / tomorrow morning. Prime Viewing will take place 2:41 to 3:53 EST. By 5:01 AM, the eclipse will be lost. At mid-totality will occur at 08:17 UT / 03:17 EST/12: 17 pm PST.
According AolNews.com, NASA reported that this is the first time the eclipse had coincided with the solstice since December 21, 1638, and the next one will not come around again until 2094. Extravaganza in the sky does not end there, however, as a meteor shower Ursids will also occur.

Eclipse is very unique because there longer and emit cold. Depending on location, late night or early morning December 20 December 21 full moon will be darkened by the shadow of the Earth as a planet passes between it and the sun. December 21 is also the winter solstice, the longest night of the year, after that day will start growing again. Coupled with a view of the moon, it means we are in for especially towards dark.
Eclipse of the moon does not always happen every year, this should coincide between the position of the sun, moon and earth are in a straight line, until the effect of light and dark. Never ever saw the light eclipse directly because it will cause blindness.
Unlike the complicated pinhole view a solar eclipse, in fact you will be able to see this one - heck, bring a pair of binoculars or a telescope, if they are useful. Another total lunar eclipse will not be visible in the United States until April 2014.
According to AP, North and Central America both need to be able to see the entire eclipse, which is expected to take about 3.5 hours. Total eclipse will begin at 11:41 PT on Monday, or 2:41 ET on Tuesday - so obviously the West Coasters will have a better chance to capture the magnificent scenery around the eyelids without dragging heavy and require additional doses of espresso coffee following morning. If you want to set the alarm for a brief glimpse amber moon, NASA recommends 3:17 ET for an optimal impression.
