Lunar Eclipse

Tonight will be a treat for stargazers on the east coast of Australia (like me) and New-Zealand. We'll be able to watch a lunar eclipse as the Sun, Earth and Moon become perfectly aligned.

For a guide to viewing or photographing the eclipse, visit Ice in Space, the Australian Amature Astronomy site for viewing the southern skies. This is a time-table for those living on the east coast of Australia.
