1. Find a clear place in Bedford, and look up in the night sky early Tuesday morning to catch a glimpse of the last total lunar eclipse. It's the last time a solar event like this will happen in three years, astronomers said. The eclipse "will be visible throughout North America in the predawn hours" from 5:16 a.m. to 6:41 a.m. Eastern time, when the Earth passes between the moon and sun. (WMUR)

A strong Windham High offense ended a five-game winning streak against Bedford in Saturday afternoon’s Division I football "playoff opener." "Windham coach Jack Byrne said, 'They were one step ahead today. I know how good we are. For them to play that well says something about them.'" (Eagle-Tribune)
