Winter Solstice - Plus A Full Eclipse of the Moon

Tomorrow starts our first full day of winter and the day of the shortest daylight.  It is also the day of the longest shadows.  If we have sun on Wednesday, check it out.  There will be long shadows even at noon.  But tonight while the clouds are covering the moon and we are sleeping, there will be a full eclipse of the moon.  Top it off it is a blue moon too!  You could wake up and check it out at 3am and then sleep later since we have another late start.
