Apollo 11: Partial lunar eclipse due on 50th anniversary

During a partial eclipse, some - but not all - of the Moon passes through the darkest area of shadow behind the Earth, the central region called the umbra.Provided their are clear skies, the eclipse can be seen in the UK from Moon rise, which starts at between 21:00 and 22:00 BST depending on where you are.The event will also be visible across Africa, much of Asia, the eastern part of South America, and western Australia.

Dr Morgan Hollis, from the Royal Astronomical Society, advises those who wish to see the event to find a"low unobstructed horizon" without tall buildings and trees. He said:"Unlike a solar eclipse it's entirely safe to watch a lunar eclipse with the naked eye, so this one is fine.A red moon montage from the partial eclipse

"You don't need any special equipment and it should be fairly warm as well, given temperatures recently. It should be good if the weather is clear and the conditions are clear."The next partial lunar eclipse is not expected until 19 November 2021.Skywatchers in the UK will not get the chance to see another until 2029 - weather permitting.
