Rainman Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Lunar eclipse, not solar. New moon winter solistices are darker. That's what I was going to say. The Fox headline doesn't make any sense. A new moon would be darker than a mostly hidden full moon. Either way, it's still cool to have the overlap of the two events, especially when it may yield some temporary good viewing of the Ursids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
