Total Lunar Eclipse

Tomorrow evening make sure you stay awake and take a glance up in to the moon. On Wednesday night lasting from 8pm to midnight, there will be a lunar eclipse, when the moon completely passes through the Earth’s shadow. The total lunar eclipse should appear between 10pm and 10:50pm.

A lunar eclipse is visible from any part of the “night side” of the world. The lunar eclipse presents red and even turquoise color across the face of the moon. You should not need any special telescope or equipment to view the lunar eclipse.

Be sure not to miss this total lunar eclipse. Unfortunately if you do miss this, there will be a three year wait before you will get a chance to see it again.
