[astrobeck]

On March 3 the  Full Moon will pass through Earth's shadow during a total eclipse.
The entire event will be visible from Europe, Africa and western Asia.

Stunning photo opportunities await!

has times and a map for the event. The site above is click able for a larger image.

Hope this is not too off topic, but we are overdue for something interesting to photograph in the night sky.

PS.  In the USA, the Moon will rise already in eclipse, so a reddish-hued Moon will peek up from the eastern horizon that evening.
