CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida (AP) — The last total lunar eclipse of
the year is Saturday. And there won't be another one for three
years.
Viewers in the western half of the United States will have the
best views Saturday well before dawn. The farther west the
better.
The scene from the Pacific — Australia and parts of Asia — will
be prime. The action will be unfolding there Saturday night, local
time.
This is the second total lunar eclipse this year, when the
entire moon is in Earth's darkest shadow and will appear red. The
first was in June. That's it now until 2014. Until then, stargazers
will have to settle for partial eclipses.
