The last total lunar eclipse until 2010 occurred last night, with appearances by Saturn and the bright star Regulus, on both sides of the moon. It is said that many individuals with telescopes were actually able to see the rings of Saturn. Here in Chicago we were able to spot the glorious eclipse in the sky. From beginning to end the eclipse lasted about 3 hours across areas of the globe. It was a tremendous sight to have seen and I hope all of you were able to witness the total lunar eclipse. There were two full eclipses last year, just this one for 2008 and then as I said earlier the next is in 2010. If you missed it I have inserted a time-lapsed video from YouTube below, it is Amazing.
