UK Guide to Viewing the Blood Moon Total Lunar Eclipse

A total lunar eclipse, known as a Blood Moon, will be visible in the UK on Sunday evening, with the Moon turning red as it passes through Earth's shadow. The eclipse begins with the penumbral phase at 16:28 BST and reaches maximum at 19:11 BST, just before moonrise, offering a chance to witness the red hue caused by Earth's atmosphere. Viewers should find a clear horizon and use binoculars or a telescope for the best experience, with the next opportunity in the UK occurring on 28 August 2026.
