Prime time view of rare lunar eclipse draws millions
A global audience observed a total lunar eclipse visible over North America, Europe, and Africa. Observers in Frederick County and Washington reported haze and moisture dimming the moon, while Boston and New York hosted viewing events. The next full lunar eclipse for Americans arrives in December 1992, with limited view in Hawaii and Alaska.
