Happy Winter Solstice! Check out all the photographers who stayed up most of the night and braved the freezing cold to get a shot of last night’s total lunar eclipse. On behalf of those of us who try to get folks excited about science and astronomy, it was almost more fun to watch Twitter last night and see the sheer number of people who went outside for a glimpse of the last one of these we’ll see until 2014.
If you’re in need of more images, head over to NASA JPL’s Flickr group or SpaceWeather.com. And if you’re a proper space nerd and need your fix tonight, watch NASA’s livefeed as they roll back space shuttle Discovery to the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) for some testing before its planned February launch.
