Lunar Eclipse data for tonight. (Partial Lunar eclipse.. ) If we are lucky with no clouds, we should be able to see this from UK.. assuming you brave the cold and night around 3.30pm. All times in the graphics are `universal time (UT) which is for lay person’s use equivalent to GMT.
Moon will be in Earth’s shadow (penumbral.. so may be seen as a darker tint or reddish tint only) between 00.41hrs (01.41 BST) to 04.47hrs UT (05.47 BST).
But this is a partial eclipse.. and only a small part of the moon will be going fully dark under Earth’s Umbral shadow..
Umbral eclipse duration (the part of the moon going totally dark) is 1hr 2min (between 2.12hrs Ut and 3.15hrs UT).. thats’ approx 3.12hrs BST to 4.15hrs BST.
Greatst Eclipse occurs at 2.44hrs UT (3.44hrs BST)
[not quite the same time as moment of full moon.. which is at 3.34am BST).
Bright Stellar Blessings to all doing moon worship or Eclipse Magical work tonight.
