A PARTIAL ECLIPSE of the moon will be visible tomorrow morning as the sun rises and the moon sets.
About two thirds of the moon will disappear into the Earth’s shadow.
Astronomy Ireland has advised that it will happen as dawn breaks, and people should look West.
It says the first so-called “bite” will be taken out of the moon around 45 minutes before sunrise, at 07.18am
This is the first lunar eclipse to be visible in Ireland since July 2019, and the next one won’t come around until May 2022.
Unlike a solar eclipse, when we’re watching the sun get obscured by the moon, the lunar eclipse is totally safe to look at with your eyes.
Total vs. Partial
A lunar eclipse happens when the Sun, Earth and the Moon are aligned with the Earth in the middle.
When they are aligned exactly, the Moon is entirely within the Earth’s shadow.
This results in total darkening of the Moon’s surface and is called a total lunar eclipse.
When the Moon is only partially within the Earth’s shadow part of its surface appears darker, hence a partial lunar eclipse.

Eir have nothing but total and utter contempt for their customers, it’s the equivalent of climbing Mt Everest to get in contact with them!
@Brian Hunt: swapped to Three years ago and never looked back. Eir is a French company these days with horrific customer service. Worst company in the world to deal with bar none.
@Brian Hunt: At least you’ll get a good signal up there when you’ve reached the top. But,be prepared for a frosty reception if you do get through.
@John Doe Trump: I went in the opposite direction, couldn’t get signal for Three in my house
My 4g vanished for around 10 minutes earlier. I’ve been with gomo since just after they started, and this is only the second outage i can recall. Not bad for €9.99.
@honey badger: gomo is eir mate.
Just like Finkle was Einhorn
@Argus Romsworth: I know that. It’s also mentioned in the article…
@Argus Romsworth: laces out
Their technicians have to get up on the roof and adjust the wire coat hanger antenna.
I am with Eir years. Never any major issue. Find the data top notch. Only downside is trying to call them. It’d be easier get through to Trump
@Maniac 2000: You’ll get through to Trump on the mega phone. Make Eir Great Again
@Maniac 2000: well you obviously completely ignore the widely publicised contempt that they have for their customers ??
I….nt……er……n…..et …..
Three network has the same issues last week my data n credit was gone I only got my credit back yesterday after a week
Don’t go with Eir and you will not have this problem. They are an absolute unethical disgrace
Everything is routed through the Internet these days. Imagine some ship cuts more than one undersea cable, most of communication will be dead. Better prepare in advance and get some free to use radio equipment (CB, PMR) + mobile antennas for the car or balcony.
It was going slow yesterday too
have your say
