Tonights Eclipse.

[Anton]

The Moon will turn a shade of copper red this Saturday when it will be fully eclipsed by the Earth, whose shadow will blot out all but a tiny bit of refracted solar light.
The period of total eclipse will be relatively short, lasting from 22:40 to 23:57 GMT, a total of 77 minutes.

Total lunar eclipses normally occur roughly every couple of years, but those who miss the one this weekend will get another chance to see the moon disappear on August 28. The last took place on October 28, 2004.

If it's only turning a copper-red colour, surely that's only a partial eclipse? Wouldn't a total eclipse block all light from the sun?

Not that clear but you can see a hint of red. I have a telescope but without the tri-pod it's hard work keeping it still!

Pictures are useless here too, but it is beautiful. Nice shade of red but hard to focus your eyes on.
