For some parts of the world, the full Moon will be visible as it undergoes a total lunar eclipse, becoming what is known as a Blood Moon.
A lunar eclipse occurs when Earth moves directly between the Sun and Moon, casting a shadow onto the Moon’s surface. During this, the Moon can turn a rusty red colour, which is where it gets it nickname, the Blood Moon.
Those most likely to see the phenomenon include observers in parts of North America, South America, East Asia, and Australia.
The full eclipse starts on Tuesday morning at 11.04 GMT and concludes at 12:02 GMT. It’s estimated that almost a third of the world’s population will see the total phase.
