Watch Lunar Eclipse…or Wait Another 400 Years

For the first time in over four hundred years, a lunar eclipse lands on the winter solstice. On the morning after this auspicious coincidence, we catch up with some professional star gazers to get a sense of the event’s astronomic and historical significance. We speak with Neil deGrasse Tyson, Director of the Hayden Planetarium and host of NOVA’s “Science Now,” along with Cameron Hummel, a PhD Student at Columbia University’s Department of Astronomy.
