What time is the Lunar Eclipse tonight in the United Kingdom? Details here

A penumbral eclipse is going to appear for the people on Earth to enjoy its mesmerizing beauty. A penumbral lunar eclipse is considered to be dimmer and fainter than the dark core of the earth’s shadow. This makes it hard for a viewer to tell it apart from a normal full moon. This year it is said to have a Strawberry-like colour or it may adopt a tea-coloured hue instead of the normal Pearly white colour that it has.

Moon Eclipse happens when the moon passes into the earth’s penumbra and this year it is expected to pass through 57 per cent of it. Here is all you need to know about what time is the lunar eclipse in the United Kingdom and more.
