INLAND EMPIRE--Weather permitting, we’ll be treated to an eclipse of the moon early Monday.

It’s the first of four this year and should be the best.

A spokesman for the Mountains Skies Astronomical Society at Lake Arrowhead says it comes during the pre-dawn hours.

“The February full moon was known as the ‘snow moon’ by the eastern Indian tribes.”

If you miss it, other lunar eclipses will follow in July, August and December.
