Don't Miss the Flower Moon Lunar Eclipse Livestream and Other Space Events This Weekend

A penumbral lunar eclipse will occur on May 5, coinciding with the full Flower Moon. The eclipse will be visible from Australia, Antarctica, Eastern Africa, Oceania, and Asia. The Virtual Telescope Project will host a free livestream of the event, which will begin at 2:45 p.m. EDT (1845 GMT) on May 5. The eclipse will not be as dramatic as a total eclipse, but skywatchers should see a dark gray or brownish shadow across a portion of the face of the moon, covering up to 94.6% of the moon at the eclipse's peak.
