    Spellbinding-Long Total Lunar Eclipse Occurs 6/15/11


    Unfortunately, some of us will miss the show.....

    This month's full moon will pass almost directly through the center of Earth's shadow on Wednesday (June 15) in what will be an unusually long total eclipse of the moon.

    The eclipse won't be visible from North America due to its timing, which places the event in the daylight hours when the moon is behind the local horizon.

    But the Eastern Hemisphere of Earth will be facing the moon during the eclipse. This hemisphere, centered on a spot in the Indian Ocean to the east of the island nation of Madagascar, will have a ringside seat for this event.

    It will be visible completely over Africa, and Central Asia, visible rising over South America, western Africa, and Europe, and setting over eastern Asia. In western Asia, Australia and the Philippines, the lunar eclipse will be visible just before sunrise.

    In the UK you won't get the eclipse but you'll get a "red moon". Best time to see it is (apparently) 22.30 hrs. Grab a tinny, deckchair and go repose in your garden from 22.00 and give the news a miss.
