Total Eclipse of the Moon
There is a total lunar eclipse early in the morning of Tuesday 21st December. It’s not particularly well-placed for UK observers, as the Moon sets during totality, but if it’s clear it will be possible to see an eclipsed Moon setting over the north-western horizon in the morning twilight. The partial phase begins at 6:32 UT and totality starts at 7:40 UT, not long before the Moon sets at around 8:14 UT.
Somif you know a place that gives glorious sunsets and the weather is clear, you’ll know where to go.
