Only partial in the UK though. Probably full here.
There was one here two or three years ago but as celestial phenomena go, it really wasn't very exciting. |

The Moon goes red, what more do you want,blood?
|
|
By:
I think it's full in the UK, but happening as the moon is rising, so will probably need a clear view of the horizon in the Southeast.

It's a very dull shade of dark red, EGG. Ferrari Red would be great. British Racing Green would be even better!
Coincidentally, the moon is actually EGG shaped but we see it head on. |

By:
Cheers EGG, didn't know this.
The ISS is making up to 4 passes per night atm mainly due to twighlight hours during dusk and a height boost to the ISS orbit, will post times for UK later if there is any views tonight. Should be easy to see although I haven't seen it since I last posted times on the forum. |

By:
Just checked the times. Totality starts at about 10pm here. The one in 2008 was only a partial apparently so maybe this one will be a bit more impressive. I'll have a look tonight anyway. Clear skies guaranteed.

enjoy it with the cricket, MOMM. No chance of seeing the moon in london tonight
|

By:
all cloudy everywhere but not missing much. All that 'blood-red' stuff is nonsense. doesn't sound so exciting to call it 'brown' (which it is. worth seeing once though.
I'd like to see a blue moon - apparently it's a real thing and caused by sulphur in the air(eh?) |

Cloudier than the dregs of a snakebite here in sunny Essex.
|
|
By:
can't see it in Hackney, too much smog, gun smoke, bomb explosions.............
|
|
By:
Clear in Norn Iron and looking good, will have a look later. With twilight being so bright it may not be a great spectacle.
The ISS crosses 3 times tonight, first time at 23.22 BST. |

By:
Ovalman,
What's that website you put up previously to track the ISS? |
|
By:
I think it was someone else that posted up the http://www.heavens-above.com/ site
although I get a feed on Twitter that pushes sightings directly to my phone and location. The guy from this site does the Twitter and I think heavens-above uses his data also. http://www.twisst.nl/ |

By:
Many thanks.

Just checked Stellarium and you really need to view it in the next 30 minutes if you're to see anything.
I had a quick peak and I'm clouded out although not totally atm, the Moon would be too low in the sky for me to see anything anyway. Will give it 15 mins. |
|
By:
Still cloudy here.
We're doomed  |

By:
why is it always cloudy for these events ?

I want my money back, I can't see it.

|
By:
Too cloudy for me and too low in the sky.
|
|
By:
Sorry you all missed it. It was absolutely fantastic.
|
|
By:
Don't worry if you missed it there will be another one coming along on Saturday 2nd July 2011.
|
|
By:
you sure ?
|
|
By:
I'm sure there's not!
 |
|
By:
That's one day into a new Moon. Only a slither will be visible.
|
|
By:
right - you can only have a lunar eclipse at full moon.
|
|
By:
Sure I'm sure,
