A rare blood moon will be visible in the UK on Friday morning as Earth's shadow eclipses the moon, leading to its distinctive red glow. The lunar eclipse starts at 03:57 GMT, with totality occurring between 06:26 and 07:31 GMT. While primarily observable in the Americas, UK viewers can still catch a glimpse, especially around 5 am as dawn approaches. Experts recommend looking for the moon low in the western sky for the best experience, emphasizing that no special equipment is needed to witness this natural spectacle.
The moon will appear to glow bright red as Earth's shadow crosses the lunar surface, known as a lunar eclipse.
Observers on the western side of the UK will see the total phase start before morning twilight at about 4 am when the Moon is low in the western sky.
As long as the sky is clear, you should be able to see it.
The best time to see the eclipse will be sometime after 5 am and before the sky gets too bright.
