@7creddie5  You didn't understand that year importance correctly. There have been hundreds of lunar eclipses since then. What was significant about 1638 was the eclipse happened on the Winter Solstice, the first day of Winter. That is what is repeated early tomorrow morning, the exact time depending on where you live and the time you mentioned is in the US/Canada Eastern Time. Northern Europe will barely see the beginning of it because it starts then just before sunrise. It's much better for those in N. and S. America.
