Lunar Eclipse Live: Historic Lunar Eclipse Live December 2010

Lunar Eclipse live will occur on December 21, 2010. The NASA has predicted that the historic moment will be visible after midnight EST on December 21 in North America and South America.
The total Lunar Eclipse is expected to last for three-and-a-half hours and the skies will be clear and free from clouds.
According to NASA, the beginning of the total eclipse will be completely visible to the north Europeans, just before their sunrise. The end of the Eclipse will be visible during the sunset for Japan and Northeastern Asia. But unfortunately, the Lunar Eclipse will not be visible from South and East Africa along with the Middle East and South Asia.
The lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes behind the Earth, blocking the sun’s rays striking the moon. This happens exactly only when the Sun, Earth and the Moon are aligned in a same line.
This is the first total lunar eclipse from three years, where as the last has been on 20th of February 2008.
