The National Museum of Natural Science in central Taiwan’s Taichung is carrying out events both at the museum itself and the Taichung Metropolitan Park, inviting stargazers to join a series of lectures and observations between 3pm and 9pm.
The eclipse will start before the moon is visible at around 6:04pm and last until 8:45pm, the museum said.
The moon will appear copper as it becomes fully obscured by the Earth’s shadow between 7:54pm and 8:06pm, it said, adding that it will be the first time since last October that a total lunar eclipse will be visible throughout Taiwan. [FULL STORY]
