Bobj Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 The Total Lunar Eclipse on April 15th, 2014 is well placed for observers in the Western Hemisphere, and will be visible in its entirety for all of North and South America. Most of Europe and Africa experience moonset just as the eclipse begins, while Australians and New Zealands will see the eclipsed moon at Moonrise. None of the eclipse is visible from north/east Europe, eastern Africa, the Middle East or Central Asia. For Australians and New Zealanders, the eclipse will be in progress at Moonrise. The further East you are, the more of the eclipse you'll see. The Total stage of the eclipse starts at 5:08pm AEST, with Moonrise at 5:28pm AEST and maximum eclipse at around 5:46pm AEST, but will change depending on your timezone. Check the table further below for timings in a city near you. The totality phase lasts approx 78 minutes. Cheers, Bobj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blossom Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Very exciting! Just as I was getting home last night the moon was HUGE and it wasn't even dark yet. I even posted on Facebook about it it was that cool. :-D Apparently there is a solar eclipse in two weeks too. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rupert Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Well not much chance of a lunar eclipse here in Sydney. The heavens have opened and complete cloud cover. It is not dark yet either anyway. :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramot Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Thank you Bobj for letting us know. A really clear night on the Sunny Coast and the moon is 1/2 dark and 1/2 bright now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
