The lunar eclipse 2010 is certainly an event worth checking out – but areas that are experiencing rain, snow or otherwise non-clear viewing conditions can look online for live feed video to watch it all unfold.
It appears that for about half the country, the local weather will unfortunately not cooperate for a view of tonight's big moon show. For cities such Los Angeles, Chicago, Denver and Boston, the total lunar eclipse will likely be totally eclipsed by clouds. On the other hand, New York, Philadelphia, Miami and Dallas should enjoy mainly cloud-free conditions.
More details about when to watch the lunar eclipse 2010:
During tonight's lunar eclipse, the Earth will align between the full moon and the sun, covering the lunar surface in shadow. The eclipse is also falling on the same day as the winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere – a rare occurrence that hasn't happened in 372 years. And to top it all off, the Ursids meteor shower is expected to create a few shooting stars tonight that should be especially visible given the dimmed moon.
