Lunar eclipse expected to turn the moon red tonight

sbacker
The moon will rise in Earth's shadow this evening in a rare lunar eclipse that could turn the moon a deep shade of red.

Skywatchers anticipate spectacular lunar eclipse tonight and if there are clear skies the celestial spectacle will be visible across the UK, with the exception of northern Scotland, as soon as the moon rises after sunset.

Moonrise time varies with location, but for observers in London, the show will begin at 9.13pm. Further north, in Glasgow, moonrise begins at 9.58pm.
