Total Lunar Eclipse Tonight!

Let's hope for a clear night!

It's the winter solstice tonight and mother nature has a couple of bonuses in store!

Bundle up and head outside to catch a glimpse of the total lunar eclipse!

In Muskoka, it will happen early Tuesday morning around 1:45am. The moon should look entirely red an hour or so later.

No equipment needed; clear skies pending, it will be visible with the naked eye.

During a lunar eclipse, the Earth is exactly in line between the sun and the moon, blocking the sun's light from bouncing off the moon.

An added bonus: A minor meteor shower could send a few shooting stars across the sky during the height of the moon cover!
