Moon to Turn Red in Lunar Eclipse
May 4, 2004
A TOTAL lunar eclipse will turn the moon blood-red over Britain tonight. The total eclipse will begin above the south-east horizon at 8.52pm and end at 10.08pm. Jacqueline Mitton, of the Royal Astronomical Society, said: “If the weather is kind, this could be an interesting sight, with the eclipsed moon becoming more obvious as the sky darkens.”
