Look Up! Lunar Eclipse on Wednesday

Posted on | January 21, 2008 | 1 Comment

This is something of another test message using yet another widgety tool for blogging.

The full moon arrives this week and, with it, a lunar eclipse on Wednesday. (And this year’s lunar schedule means an authentic blue moon on May 20!)

If you’re brave enough to face the arctic chill, it might be fun to check it out at the Franklin Institute.

Of course, it is the moon, so you really don’t need to go to the Franky to see it.
