Lunar Eclipse
If you’re reading this on Tuesday evening, take a look out the window, because tonight there will be a lunar eclipse. The process begins at 20:52 British Summer Time, and will be over by 22:08. It will be visible from Asia, Africa, Australia, South American and Europe.
In a lunar eclipse the moon passes behind the earth’s shadow, which stops the sun’s light from reaching it. If the skies are clear you might see the moon turn a dark red colour, as scattered red light from sunrises and sunsets taking place around the earth falls on it.
–Update: Well, I saw it for a couple of minutes when it emerged from behind the clouds just after ten o’ clock. No photos though, unfortunately.
