When is the Blood Moon
This coming Monday night (Yes Monday :-0) there is a blood moon
Here is the times which it should be all red.
| 4:41am | Full eclipse begins
The Moon has completely entered the Earth’s umbra and starts to turn red. |
High in the west |
| 5:12am | Maximum eclipse
This is when the Moon is closest to the centre of the Earth’s umbra. |
Fairly high in the south west |
| 5:43am | Full eclipse ends
The Moon will start to leave the Earth’s umbra and enter its penumbra losing its red colour. |
Fairly low in the west |

Where will it be in the sky
I had a quick check on the Photographer’s Ephemeris and the Blood Moon is going to be over the Irish sea, so there is a possible chance of the blood moon with sand dunes in the foreground, or (not sure if this would work) a picture of the blood moon and the wind turbines on the horizon.
