Total Lunar Eclipse 10/11 Dec 2011
http://www.iceinspace.com.au/63-619-0-0-1-0.html
In Sydney/NSW from about 11:45pm Sat10Dec to 3:15am Sun11Dec with a Totality period starting around 1:10am of about 50mins, the Moon (Full Moon Sunday) will be about 30 degrees above the northeastern Horizon.
Mmmm.. TOTALITY.
It's completely safe to observe Lunar Eclipses like this one with the naked eye - this is where the earth passes directly between the Sun & Moon and we are looking at the Moon.
The weather forcast looks bad unfort., fingers crossed the northeastern sky at least clears somehow for it!
