A partial lunar eclipse, causing the moon to take on a blood-red hue, will be visible over Lincoln tonight (Tuesday, September 17). Lunar eclipses are relatively rare, occurring in the UK approximately once every six or seven months.
Timeanddate.com has stated that the eclipse will be visible between 1.41am and 5.47am on September 18, with the peak of the event at 3.44am. The next expected partial eclipse isn't until March 14 2025 in Lincoln, so this could be your last chance this year to see the amazing spectacle.
