Tonight's lunar eclipse images from around the world



[ad_1]

A total lunar eclipse will take place tonight, the moon should turn red in the longest eclipse of this century.

Unfortunately, heavy rains and cloud cover across the country mean that it is unlikely that Irish skygazers will look at the blood moon

From Other Countries have been much luckier, with people sharing a few stellar shots from around the world.

A moon of blood appears with Mars at the bottom right (white point) of Nairobi, Kenya (Sayyid Abdul Azim / AP) [19659034] The eclipse chronology for Ireland is as follows:

8:30 pm: The total eclipse begins. Below the horizon Not directly visible.

9.21pm: maximum eclipse. Below the horizon Not directly visible.

9.22pm: Moonrise. Below the horizon Not directly visible.

21h26: Maximum. That's when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire moon is above the horizon. The true maximum can not be seen as the moon is then below the horizon. The advice of timeanddate.com is to make a climax or find an unobstructed area with free views to the east / southeast for the best view.

22:13: The total eclipse ends. Moon close to the horizon so make sure you have free view to the southeast.

11:19: The partial eclipse ends

12:28: The Penumbral eclipse ends
