From my coworker today:
Tonight will bring a lunar eclipse on the Winter Solstice. This hasn’t
happened since 1638 (according to NASA). If you want to see an eclipse on
Winter Solstice and you don’t expect to be around in 2094, you better get
outside tonight. ;)
The eclipse should beginning around 1:33am ET with total darkness around
2:40am and lasts for 72 minutes. If you are setting your alarm try for
just after 3am. http://www.nasa.gov/topics/solarsystem/features/eclipse/index.html
