During last night's rare dual lunar eclipse and winter solstice occurrences, many in the Bay Area weren't able to see the moon's vanishing act due to the rainclouds ruining the show. Fortunately, we have some images of the total lunar peekaboo from around the world. more ›

Next week on December 20, a total eclipse of the moon will be visible from San Francisco. (Of course, fog and clouds will most certainly get in the way, so: ha, ha, not really!) According to Wikipedia, "A total lunar eclipse will take place on December 20/21, 2010. It will be visible after midnight Eastern Standard Time on December 21 in North and South America. The beginning of the total eclipse will be visible from northern Europe just before sunrise. The end of the total eclipse will be visible rising at sunset for Japan and northeastern Asia, it also appears very visible to the Philippines just after sunset (as in Partial lunar eclipse)." The eclipse will be viewable on Monday night/Tuesday morning. more ›
