This Witch doesn't burn

Where and when can I see it? The eclipse begins at 02:35 GMT on Monday and ends at 07:49 GMT, but the period when the whole Moon appears red occurs at 05:12 GMT. In the UK, the Moon will be above the horizon throughout the eclipse, though from the extreme south-east of England the Sun will have risen as it comes to an end. This eclipse will also be visible in north-western France, north-western Spain, Portugal, a small part of west Africa, almost the whole of North and South America, the eastern Pacific, and the north-eastern tip of Russia. Is it safe to look at? While solar eclipses are dangerous to view directly, the light from lunar eclipses is much fainter and so is completely safe to view without special equipment. Why is it significant? The event is the last chance for skywatchers in the UK to see a total lunar eclipse in its entirety until 2029 - weather permitting

Clear skies so this was visible, but then it clouded over after the full eclipse so no red moon for me
