How to see Sunday's 'Blood Moon' total lunar eclipse
On Sunday, May 15th, a total lunar eclipse, also known as a "Blood Moon," will be visible from parts of the United Kingdom, weather permitting. During a total lunar eclipse, the Moon passes through the Earth's shadow, causing it to appear reddish or "blood-red" in color. The eclipse is expected to begin at around 9:32 PM BST and reach totality at 10:29 PM, lasting until 11:54 PM. The best time to observe the eclipse will be during the total phase, when the Moon is fully immersed in the Earth's shadow. Visibility of the eclipse will depend on local weather conditions, with clear skies providing the best viewing opportunities. Astronomers and sky enthusiasts across the UK are encouraged to step outside and witness this rare celestial event, which won't be visible again until September 2025.
