Lunar Eclipse

Attention Moongazers! Join us this Friday at Space Place and get a close-up of the final partial Lunar Eclipse of 2021. The upcoming Lunar Eclipse will be the longest one in 1000 years. With 97% of the Moon slipping into the Earth’s shadow, don’t miss out on this spectacular celestial event.

The eclipse is expected to last six hours with Maximum Eclipse at 10:02pm.

Look to the sky with telescopes provided by the Wellington Astronomical Society.

A big thank you to WAS for sharing their passion for Astronomy with Te Whanganui-a-Tara.
