Watch an eclipse of the moon tonight!

"If the clouds stay away, it will be fascinating to watch the Moon's graceful movement through the shadow of the Earth," said Robin Scagell, from the Society for Popular Astronomy.

The eclipse began at 2018 GMT, with the Moon totally immersed in the shadow of the Earth between 2244 and 2358 GMT.

The eclipse is visible from the whole of Europe, Africa, South America, and eastern parts of the US and Canada.
