Tomorrow's eclipse will be visible around much of the world including Europe, Africa, South America, Australia and Eastern Asia.
The eclipse will officially begin at 2.23am when the moon passes into the shadow cast by the Earth. However, the shadow will only become obvious at 3.35am when the upper left limb of the moon starts to darken.
During maximum eclipse, at 5.10am, sky watchers should be able to see 81 per cent of the moon immersed in the Earth's dark umbral shadow.
Members of the public can assemble at the parking lot of the Survey Department in Berakas from 2am onwards on Sunday to observe this natural phenomenon, as telescopes will be placed at strategic locations around the parking lot. This observation is being coordinated by the Astronomy Unit of the Survey Department.
The type of lunar eclipse is rare because it only happens when the moon is in direct alignment with the Earth and Sun. If you miss this eclipse, you will have to wait until January 1, 2010, to see it again."
