We're just wrapping up the highly-anticipated lunar eclipse which coincided with 2010's winter solstice for the first time in some 400 years. You can catch up on all the action you missed below with photos, video and our live blog.
Nepal will witness one of the darkest and longest total lunar eclipses of the century in the wee hours of Thursday morning.
The total duration of the eclipse, which happens to be the first of the year, will last for a whopping 101 minutes while the moon will be partially eaten up by the murk for a longer period as the earth will come between the sun and the moon and cast its shadow on the latter. “If the weather does not play foul, the celestial event starting 1:08 am NST will be visible from all parts of the country,” said Jayanta Acharya, the chairman of Astronepal. There is another total lunar eclipse later in the year on December 10.
