Default Red Moon Tonight A rare event not seen in 372 years

Just incase you want to wake the kids up early to see a nice view of the moon.

* A lunar eclipse is expected in the early morning hours of Tuesday.
* The eclipse coincides with the mid-winter solstice.
* The event will make the moon appear pink or red.

The eclipse runs for three and a half hours, from 6:33 GMT to 10:01 GMT (1:33 a.m. EST to 5:01 a.m. EST), although the stage of total eclipse -- when the moon heads into the "umbra" cast by the Earth -- lasts from 7:41 to 8:53 GMT (2:41 a.m. EST to 3:53 a.m. EST).

Heres a clock to help.
