Don't forget: Twilight Partial Lunar Eclipse on the Morning of July 17th

Morning sky on July 17 looking east as seen from Adelaide at 07:00 ACST, at maximum eclipse. Similar views will be seen elsewhere in Australia at the equivalent local time. (click to embiggen). The darkening of the Moon will be readily visible.

On the morning of July 17, there is a partial eclipse of the Moon. This is a reasonable partial eclipse which favours Western Australia and the Central states, and though you have to get up early in the morning to see it. Eastern Australians may wish to stay in bed as it is a weekday and most of the eclipse is in twilight for them.

For more details, timings and charts, see my partial lunar eclipse page.
