Needless to say, that doesn't happen very often. The last one was in 1638 or 1378... depending on your source.
Clouds here are forecast to be around 90%. That always seems to happen when something astronomically cool happens where I live. I'm definitely going to be taking peeks outside a lot, to see if the clouds happen to part for a bit.
Total Lunar Eclipse on Solstice!

I slept through it. My friends who had painstakingly stayed up to watch reported that all there was to be seen was Cambridge's usual cloudy haze. I think I made the right decision.
I won't just survive
Oh, you will see me thrive
Can't write my story
I'm beyond the archetype
I won't just conform
No matter how you shake my core
'Cause my roots, they run deep, oh
When, when the fire's at my feet again
And the vultures all start circling
They're whispering, "You're out of time,"
But still I rise
This is no mistake, no accident
When you think the final nail is in, think again
Don't be surprised, I will still rise
