Total Lunar Eclipse - Tonight

3 03 2007

There is a total lunar eclipse visible from pretty much everywhere in the world tonight. In Ireland, the moon first enters the Earth’s shadow at 9:30pm and will be Totally Eclipsed from 10:44pm to 11:58pm. It then leaves the Earth’s shadow fully at 1:12am. I suggest you get yourself out to a nice dark location, look east and get your camera out to get some nice shots of a dark, red moon. Unfortunately, due to the Irish Blog Awards, I think I’m going to miss it. :( Still looking forward to the Blog Awards though! :)
