If you are awake in the early hours of Tuesday, 3 March, you will be rewarded with one of the most striking astronomical events of the decade. A total lunar eclipse will transform the full moon into a vivid copper-red disc, widely referred to as the 'Blood Moon.'
This rare spectacle will be visible across large parts of North America, Central Asia, and South America. Observers in Australia and eastern Asia can catch the show on Tuesday night, while Africa and Europe will unfortunately miss out this time.
