Friday, February 20, 2009. Twenty years ago today, a total lunar eclipse visible through much of North America occurred. I share some memories of eclipses and other celestial phenomena I've been fortunate enough to witness.
The picture at the right is of the last total lunar eclipse that was visible in North America, which took place just over a year ago. I found it on Maryland Weather, a fascinating blog about all sorts of weather and sky phenomena, written by Baltimore Sun reporter Frank Royce.
