  1. The links below should be very informative for you!


  2. The partial phase of the eclipse starts at 8:36 p.m. BST but the Moon will still be low in the east, having risen at 8:10 p.m. (that's the time for London - a few minutes later if you're west or north). If you get a clear view of the horizon, you should see it come up with some slight shading on its lower left side. The maximum partial eclipse occurs at 10:10 p.m. when the lower 80% of the Moon's face will be in shadow, so it will look like a strange upside-down crescent. The partial phase ends at 11:45 p.m. but some slight penumbral shadow will persist until around midnight when the Full Moon will resume its normal appearance.

    NASA Eclipse site for you.  Enjoy.

  4. Looks like it will be visible in the UK around 19:35 GMT (7:35pm), but I'd take a peek around 18:20 which is when it's really starting in the more visible areas.
