Eastern Standard Time on December 21 in
North and
South America. The beginning of the total eclipse will be visible from northern Europe just before sunrise. The end of the total eclipse will be visible rising at sunset for Japan and northeastern Asia, it also appears very visible to the

It is the second of two lunar eclipses in 2010. The first was a
partial lunar eclipse on June 26, 2010. It is also called the Christmas lunar eclipse. It will be the first total lunar eclipse to occur on the day of the
Winter Solstice (in the Northern Hemisphere;
Summer in the Southern) since
