First total lunar eclipse of the year tonight! Well, technically tomorrow dawn, since we're only going to be in the umbra region but not in totality. The entire event starts with the moon sliding into the penumbra at 1900 GMT (3am) but the better show should start anywhere from 5.30 am to 7.30 am. The moon will be low down in the west at this time, so make sure you look at the right places! The moon will turn from the usual yellow colour into a deep pumpkin orange colour ... grrr. Hope I'll have the energy to wake up (or stay awake .. depending) and catch this one. Next eclipse near the end of the year I think.
