There is going to be a total lunar eclipse early tomorrow morning for anyone who is up early enough and has clear skies.

Lunar eclipse guide 2019 | When and where to see in the UK | Explore Royal Museums Greenwich

"On 21 January 2019 a total lunar eclipse will be visible over most of North America, South America and parts of west and north Europe. The rest of Europe and Africa can witness the end of the eclipse.

Those in the UK will be able to see every part of the eclipse as long as they are willing to stay up all night! The Moon will start to enter the Earth’s shadow just after 2:30am GMT and the maximum eclipse will occur just before 5:15am. The entire eclipse lasts for more than five hours, ending at 7:48am.

The optimal viewing time to see the eclipse is between 4:41am – 5:43am. This is the period of totality, where the moon lies entirely in the Earth’s umbra (full shadow) and will appear red."

There's also Facebook pages which will be streaming live video if you don't want to get out of bed and look for yourself.

Here's the FB page set up by the rmg site above which will be streaming the moon video:

Freezing cold out there, eclipse nearly total but no sign of red colour yet....
 
Can only get the odd glimpse as it’s cloudy here
 
Dark and thick cloud at about 1000 ft,never say any thing in sky in all my life so i dont even bother looking these days.
 
I do find these events interesting, went to the States to see a solar eclipse a couple of years ago.

However all such eclipses are relatively local. Our nearest galaxy is 25000 light years away, and there are more galaxies in the universe than grains of sand on Earth. All quite mind blowing I think. Universe Today
