In case you weren’t awake at 3 AM, here are a few photographs of the total lunar eclipse that occurred on the Winter Solstice, December 21, 2010. This is similar shot from the archives during the lunar eclipse of February 2008.

Now you, too, can have that 80’s total eclipse song stuck in your head.

I AM ASHAMED 🙠I didn’t go to sleep until 3:30am and I had no idea about the lunar eclipse. I missed the chance to take some photos, as well, but you did a great job capturing it!!! Thanks for staying up and for sharing your photos.

WOW!!! We were awake too, our 1 and a half year old twins were up about 2:30, but we didn’t get a chance to go outside and see it. Thanks for the pics.
