Moon to turn red on Wednesday night!

by isleofman.com 14th June 2011

Isle of Man residents are being advised to look to the skies tomorrow (Wednesday) night, when there is a chance to see a spectacular moonrise.

When the moon comes up in the east, shortly before 9.50pm, it will be in the shadow of the Earth.

The lunar eclipse will see the moon change colour, from its usual bright white to a red hue.

Howard Parkin from the Isle of Man Astronomical Society says it will be quite a sight:
