Total eclipse won't be visible again for a couple of years

If the weather gods are kind to us, there'll be a spectacle in the heavens early on Monday morning.

A total eclipse of the moon will be visible from the Island, the last visible from this part of the world until 2021.

At around 5:15am tomorrow, the moon will take on a reddish glow as the total, lunar eclipse begins.

It should finish around 5:45am, however the whole event starts just after 3 in the morning.

Astronomer and AstroManx founder Howard Parkin, explained more to Howard Caine:
