Lunar eclipse - 06-26-2010, 09:34 AM

A pretty good lunar eclipse should be visable in Japan, parts of Asia(at moonrise) and the U.S.A. (at moonset) on Saturday 26th June. Apparently this will be seen low on the horizon and so should appear quite large. According to Nasa, low-hanging moons look "unnaturally large when they beam through trees, buildings and other foreground objects". The reason for this is not understood.
Check it out folks and please report back as we won't be able to see this in England
