A Winter Rarity

On a day that astronomers are calling an "astronomical" rarity, both a lunar eclipse and the Winter Solstice have arrived on the same day. It hasn't happened, astronomers say since 1638.
Pretty cool, huh?

Sure. We'll only be about what? 400? Ah, not unlike the wait here for medical treatment. I'll just need a good book.

Correction. You'll be about 104. The next one is supposed to be in 2094.
