Sky-watchers across much of the UK can look forward to a stunning spectacle this evening when a total lunar eclipse will turn the full Moon red.

As it passes through Earth's shadow, it will take on a deep red hue, creating a striking "Blood Moon".

While the full eclipse starts at 18:30 and lasts until 19:52, people in the UK will only be able to see it after the Moon rises, and that depends on where you are.

Easternmost parts get the longest view, with moonrise in Norwich at 19:25 for example, while westernmost Wales and Cornwall only get a minute or two. Northern Ireland and western Scotland won't see totality this time but may still catch some of the Earth's shadow across the Moon.

Begins at 19:35 for me, I believe.

For people in the Netherlands, the most beautiful part, the red color, is happening roughly between 20.30 and 21.00 looking Eastwards.

Apparently it will be cloudy in Channel Islands. Grrrr! 😡

Skies we're clear but eclipse too low on the horizon
