Space Weather News for Dec. 9, 2011

LUNAR ECLIPSE: Sky watchers on the Pacific side of Earth should be alert for a total lunar eclipse on Saturday, Dec. 10th. The disk of the full Moon will turn a beautiful shade of copper-red as it passes through Earth's shadow between 4:45 am and 8:18 am Pacific Standard Time (12:45 to 16:18 UT). For observers in western parts of the USA and Canada, the event will be magnified by the Moon illusion as the morning Moon sets behind trees, buildings, and other foreground objects along the western horizon. Please check http://spaceweather.com for more information and full coverage of the eclipse as it happens.

For instance, there's probably someone on your Christmas list who would like to receive a piece of authentic meteorite jewelry: http://www.shopspaceweather.com/Meteorite-Jewelry.aspx

Unfortunately we won't see much from here in East Anglia-the Moon Rises @ 15.38 UT when the the last part of the Umbral shadow will just be showing as its coming out of the Eclipse ending @ 16.18 UT-it will then exit the Penumbral shadow @ 17.31 UT with Astronomical Twilight ending @ 17.46 UT.
Sunset is @ 15.40 UT and Lighting up time (Civil Twilight) occurs @ 16.21 UT.
