    lunar_eclipse.js  -  by Don Cross - 2020-05-17

    Example Node.js program for Astronomy Engine:
    https://github.com/cosinekitty/astronomy

    Searches for the next 10 partial/total lunar eclipses after
    the current date, or a date specified on the command line.

    To execute, run the command:
    node lunar_eclipse [date]
