A deep partial lunar eclipse will be visible across the UK before dawn on Friday, 28 August. Almost all of the Moon will enter Earth's darkest shadow during the event. The partial phase begins at 3.33am BST and peaks at 5.12am, according to the Royal Observatory Greenwich.

The eclipse will be visible across the British Isles. However, the Moon will sit low in the south-western sky, so a clear horizon will be essential.
