A lunar eclipse and blood moon will light up the sky – for the last time for two years.
The total lunar eclipse is set to take place in the early hours of Monday morning, along with a red hue on the moon’s surface.
And this year’s blood moon is of particular interest to astronomers and skygazers as it is the last of its kind for two years.
The best time is around 5.12am to catch the maximum eclipse, when the moon will be completely submerged within the Earth’s shadow.
Depending on the weather, the eclipse should be visible from the UK for a reasonable amount of time.
“The moon will be red between about 4.40am and about 6.45am, so it’s actually more than an hour that you have to observe this blood moon phenomenon where the moon is totally eclipsed,” Mr Kerss added.
A blood moon last happened in July 2018, though viewers in the UK struggled to see it due to clouds obscuring the celestial phenomenon.
