Date Night

Tonight you are invited to come and behold the splendor of the King. At 1:15a.m. there will be a show just for you! A magic show, where the moon will disappear, but not for too long. Twill only hide for a while. You don't want to miss it, it won't happen again for another 300 years: A Total Lunar Eclipse on the shortest day of the year, the winter solstice, facing from the east coast perspective. Mr. moon will pass behind the earth, slip into the earth's shadow, become engulfed by that shadow, and then reemerge. The moon has been known to turn dazzling colors during this event. The eclipse will last 3 hours and 28 minutes. For 72 of those minutes, the earth's shadow will completely cover the moon. The peak will be at 3:17 a.m.


He covers the face of the full moon, spreading his clouds over it.  Job 26:9

In Awe of Him,
E.W.
