For most eastern seaboard locations, this was the highest total lunar eclipse
since January 7, 1852. In New York, the Moon attained its maximum altitude
during totality at 12:05 a.m. EST on January 21. Interestingly, we wont have
to wait as long for another similiarly high eclipse . . . one Metonic cycle
(19 years) on January 20-21, 2019, we will have another total lunar eclipse
with totality occurring near midnight for the US East Coast. Mark your
calendars!
