It's the winter solstice. From here on out, the days start getting longer. That's good, because I'm tired of darkness. ...And just as I say that, the moon goes dark.

Don't bother reading the CNN article on this eclipse, because two-thirds of it is made up of gibberish from astrologers. It's the third millennium, CNN. You don't have to fill your science articles with quotes from flim-flam artists.
