Let's watch the Longest Total Lunar Eclipse of Century from Flagstaff Gardens. There will be public transport operating with reduced frequency as its the weekend. The total phase of the "blood moon" eclipse of July 28 will last 1 hour and 43 minutes, during which Earth's natural satellite will turn a spectacular red or ruddy-brown colour.

"Unlike with solar eclipses, you need no special equipment to observe lunar eclipses. The moon turns deep red or reddish brown during eclipses, instead of going completely dark. That's because some of the sunlight going through Earth's atmosphere is bent around the edge of our planet and falls onto the moon's surface. ~ space.com"

Partial Eclipse begins: 28 Jul at 4:24:27 am
Full Eclipse begins: 28 Jul at 5:30:15 am
Maximum Eclipse: 28 Jul at 6:21:44 am

On the day of the eclipse, the Full Moon is also at its farthest from the Earth, so it looks a little smaller in the sky, making this a Blood Micro Moon eclipse.

This is a FREE Event!
