Lunar Eclipse, 18-19 October

Lunar Eclipse visible in Stoke on Trent (and the rest of the UK)
18 October 10:53 PM start
19 October 12:50 AM maximum darkening
19 October 2:48 AM ends
All times are UK times.

This is about as far as you can get from a Day out With Daddy... a night in with Daddy instead.  There's going to be a lunar eclipse (the Moon moves into the Earth's shadow and appears darker) on 18-19 October.  You'll have to stay up (or get up) late to see the largest part of the eclipse.

It's a good opportunity to talk about eclipses (if your children are old enough to understand) or otherwise make up stories about it...
