SUMMARY: People on five continents will be treated to a total lunar eclipse tonight, with the best views from western Asia. The visible eclipse will begin at 1851 UTC, and reach its maximum at 2030 UTC. Unfortunately, it won't be visible at all from North or South America, as it happens during the day there. Of course, there are live astrocameras covering this event, weather permitting, so you can see it through the Internet. There's one in the Netherlands, and another in Iran.

I can see total Full Moon here how sad... always observe the opposite moon.

I hear the news said, the next lunar eclipse will be on May 10th 2005... and is there any solar eclipse besides lunar eclipse this year?
