1st announcement of the 2008 Total Lunar Eclipse Skypecast
The night of February 20 - 21 will see the moon go dark as it travels across the shadow of the Earth. Eclipses are fantastic astronomical events in which the Sun, the Moon and the Earth are aligned and what's best - everyone in their path can see them!
