Lunar Eclipse tonight
Saturday, August 16th, 2008 09:15 amdetails here
The Moon will first enter the outer shadow of the Earth at 18:25 GMT (19:25 British Summer Time) - although, you may not even notice. An hour later, at 19:36 GMT (20:36 BST) the Moon begins to go into the dark heart of the Earth shadow, and that's when the eclipse really begins! The Moon is in the middle of the Earth's shadow by 21:10GMT (22:10BST), and has left the dark shadow by 22:44 GMT (23:44 BST). The entire eclipse ends at 23:55 GMT (00:55 BST).
Fingers crossed for clear skies. (Saw the moon while coming back from theatre the other night and actually couldn't remember the last time I'd seen it. Stupid summer.)
