On the 15th April 2014, we'll (weather pending!) experience our first total lunar eclipse in 2.5 years!

For Australians and New Zealanders, the eclipse will be in progress at Moonrise - approx 5:28pm AEST when the totality phase will have just started. The further east you are, the more of the eclipse you'll see.

For more information about the event, including how and where to see it and photograph it, check out the article on IceInSpace here:

Lunar Eclipses are completely safe to observe - no filters or glasses needed!

Enjoy the view and if you take some photos, feel free to post them on IceInSpace or our Facebook page!
