Lunar eclipse due tomorrow night

We are being encouraged to look to the skies tomorrow night, to catch a glimpse of the last lunar eclipse over Ireland for four years.

We are being encouraged to look to the skies tomorrow night, to catch a glimpse of the last lunar eclipse over Ireland for four years.

The sky will begin to get dark at about 9.50pm, and the eclipse will follow 10 minutes later, turning the moon red.

People in the east of the country will see the moon rise a deep red colour, while for anyone watching in the west, most of the moon will be blacked out by the earth's shadow.

We will not have another chance to see the moon eclipsed until 2015.
