The moon will be partially eclipsed on the evening of Saturday, 16th August. The Full Moon rises at 20.07 and if the sky is very
clear and there is no cloud, mist or fog, then we may expect to see the Moon
rising in the direction of the Sovereign lighthouse. The actual eclipse starts
at 20.35 and ends at 23.44. Sunset is
at 20.17, so some viewers on Beachy
Head have a chance of seeing the Full Moon rising in the ESE while the
Sun is setting in the opposite direction. Again we shall be using telescopes and
these will be on
All are welcome to view the Lunar Eclipse through our telescopes for this event. We will be setting up at Helen Gardens on Eastbourne sea front.
