An incredible event occurred on December 21. The full moon was obscured by a total lunar eclipse during the Winter Solstice.
Geoff Chester of the U.S. Naval Observatory inspected a list of eclipses going back 2000 years for NASA.
"Since Year 1, I can only find one previous instance of an eclipse matching the same calendar date as the solstice, and that is 1638 DEC 21."
