PARIS, Nov 3: The moon will turn a shade of red on Saturday (Nov 8) when it will be fully eclipsed by the Earth, whose shadow will blot out all but a tiny fraction of solar light, astronomers said on Monday.
The Earth’s shadow will begin to creep over the Moon at about 2330 GMT on Saturday, Britain’s Royal Astronomical Society said in a press statement received here.
The period of total eclipse will be relatively short, lasting from 0106 to 0131 GMT, and the last remnant of the shadow will leave the lunar face at 0305 GMT.
The entire event will be visible from Europe, northern and western Africa and some eastern parts of North and South America.—APP/AFP
