A lunar eclipse, otherwise known as a Blood Moon, will be visible to people in the UK for the first time this year on Friday July 27.
The sight will be the first of its kind since the major super blue blood Moon which was viewable from the Pacific Ocean early this year.
People in the UK were not able to see this happen due to the positioning of the earth, but will finally get their chance tomorrow.
The Moon will turn a deep scarlet tomorrow night, for the longest time in a century.
Where will the lunar eclipse be visible?
The blood Moon is watchable from Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa, South America, the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans, as well as Antarctica.
Sadly, this time around the USA and Mexico will be unable to see the astronomical event occur.
South Africa and Australia on the other hand will be treated to the rare sight.
In South Africa, the Blood Moon is expected to appear at night, around 8.24pm on July 27.
Like the other countries in for the main event, the full eclipse will last a total of one hour and 43 minutes.
This means that South Africa will see the end of the eclipse itself fall on 12.19am, as the eclipse goes through its final phases.
South Africa will see clear skies in the Gauteng, Limpopo, North West, Mpumalanga and Free State provinces.
The Northern Cape will experience some patchy cloud, which might make seeing the Moon difficult.
The total lunar eclipse will also head over to Australia, but will appear a little later on.
A Blood Moon will be visible from 3.15am on July 28, a day after the rest of the world.
The Moon is expected to turn fully red from roughly 5.30am.
Not all of Australia will be able to see it however, as those over on the east coast will not see the Moon progress out of its shadow.
Those living further west are likely to see the whole event unfold.
How is a Blood Moon created?
The stunning cosmic event of a Blood Moon is caused by an effect called rayleigh scattering.
The scientific phenomenon sees light filtered through the earth’s atmosphere and projected onto the Moon.
This is because during a lunar eclipse, the Earth is positioned between the Sun and Moon, and the Sun’s light runs through the Earth instead of the planet blocking it altogether.
