In the night of Saterday on Sunday, there will be a lunar eclipse visible for the inhabitants of America and Europe. The eclipse is a total one, though the moon won't pass through the center of the Earth's shadow. As a result, the southern part of the moon disc will be brighter (more reddish) than the rest of the moon. I guess there will be some sites who will emit the event on their webcams. Don't forget space.com''s 10 cool facts on lunar eclipses :
If you were on the moon, on the side facing Earth, the home planet would block out the Sun. The Sun's light would not completely disappear, however. Earth would be ringed by light scattered through its atmosphere. The Sun would be hidden behind a dark Earth outlined by a brilliant red ring consisting of all the world's sunrises and sunsets.
