Wednesday night offers Vineyarders a lunar eclipse perfectly timed for observing. The full moon rises in the eastern sky just as the sun sets at about 5:04 p.m. and the best part of the show is five hours later.
One can only hope that the weather cooperates as the next time the Vineyard will have so convenient a show will be in December 2010.
This February full moon is called the Snow Moon, which is located in the zodiacal constellation Leo and in close proximity to the bright ringed-planet Saturn.
