Europe, Africa, and the Middle East will be in the best position to enjoy this first total eclipse of the moon in 3 years... but with our propensity for clear skies, we just might get the best look.The thing is: by the time the moon comes over our horizon it will already be in the early stages of totality. That means don't wait for it to get dark before you check it out.
El Planetario de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires dice:
"The central part of this astronomical show will begin at 7:44pm, when the moon already is completely eclipsed. This stage will reach its maximum at 8:21pm and will extend until 8:58pm. During that 74 minutes, it will be bathed in a smooth reddish-orange light. An astronomical spectacle of deep beauty. Immediately after the totality, the moon will illuminate itself again along one of its edges. And little by little, it will recover its usual aspect, as it escapes the shade cone that projects from the Earth towards space. The eclipse will finish at 10:12pm."The planetarium will have telescopes and big screen TVs available outdoors and it's free and open to the public. Av. Sarmiento & Av.
