From the page: "Eclipse set to be 'best in years' The Moon takes on a red tinge, AP It is like Mars suddenly coming a thousand times closer and just hanging there in the sky above you Skywatchers eagerly awaiting Saturday's total lunar eclipse say that the spectacle could be the "best in years". The eclipse begins at 2018 GMT, with the Moon totally immersed in the shadow of the Earth between 2244 and 2358 GMT. During "totality", only light that has been filtered through the Earth's atmosphere reaches the Moon's surface, making it appear a reddish colour. The eclipse will be visible from the whole of Europe, Africa, South America, and eastern parts of the US and Canada."
