Monday, December 20

•Total eclipse of the Moon late tonight, visible from all of North and Central America. The partial phase begins 1:33 a.m. Tuesday morning EST, total eclipse runs from 2:41 to 3:53 a.m. EST, partial eclipse ends at 5:01 a.m. EST. For our part of the world the Moon will be very high in the sky; in fact from the American Southwest and Southern California it will be near the zenith. The Moon will be centered between the bright constellations Orion, Auriga, Gemini, and Taurus. Read all about it: A Sky-High Lunar Eclipse. Includes a map of the eclipse's visibility worldwide.

P.S.: Cloudy? Here's a webcast! Coca-Cola Space Science Center Webcast

•This is the longest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere; winter begins at the solstice, 6:38 p.m. EST. Gather 'round the fire. In the Southern Hemisphere it's the shortest night of the year and the start of summer; dance in Midsummer's Night merriment.

Wednesday, December 22

•In early evening at this time of year, Cassiopeia floats as high in the north as it ever appears. It's loaded with telescopic sights to seek out. Some lesser-known ones are featured in Sue French's Deep-Sky Wonders column in the December Sky & Telescope, page 66.
