'These meteors are best seen from the southern hemisphere where the radiant in Aquarius is better seen. 'The Eta Aquarid meteor shower, so called because the radiant is in the constellation of Aquarius, occurs when the Earth crosses through the orbit of a comet called Halley. Professor Don Pollacco explained: 'The Earth passes through a number of comet orbits every year and at these times we see an increase in meteor activity, depending on the density of dust previously ejected from the comet.

This spectacle will be visible from the UK in predawn hours but favours the Southern Hemisphere overall, according to Royal Museums Greenwich.Įta Aquarids are created from the debris left behind by Halley's Comet and happen every year from the middle of April until the end of May. This year's penumbral eclipse also comes as the Eta Aquarid meteor shower is set to peak between midnight and dawn on May 6. Pictured: The Flower Moon rises behind the antenna on top of One World Trade Center in New York City in 2022 Because whole hemispheres can see the eclipse these are much less rare than a Solar Eclipse and usually a typical location can see one of these every year.'Īt this time of year, the moon is typically referred to as the 'Flower Moon', 'Milk Moon' or 'Corn Planting Moon' - inspired by blooming plants during early May.Īt this time of year, the moon is typically referred to as the 'Flower Moon', 'Milk Moon' or 'Corn Planting Moon' - inspired by blooming plants during early May.

So instead of the Moon disappearing, it gets faint and often turns dark red – an impressive sight. During these eclipses, the Sun does not illuminate the Moon, but instead light from the Sun goes through the Earth's atmosphere and reaches the Lunar surface,' Professor Don Pollacco said. 'For a total Lunar eclipse, totality lasts hours. Yet during total lunar eclipses the Sun does not illuminate the Moon, often causing the lunar surface to change colour. Professor Pollacco added that spotting the moon's darkening can be quite difficult due to the sun's continued illumination. While this will be the deepest penumbral lunar eclipse to occur until September 2042, weather and patience is still required to observed these. In the stream, the moon will rise above the region of Maremma in Tuscany, Italy.

You will be able to catch the eclipse on their website or YouTube channel from 7.45pm BST (2.45pm ET). Unfortunately, it is unlikely that people in the US and the UK will see the eclipse's effects this time.īut you don't have to miss out if you are not in a region where it will be visible, as the Virtual Telescope Project will be livestreaming the event for astronomy enthusiasts everywhere. The event is expected to commence at 4.14pm BST on May 5 and last for just over four hours before ending at 8.31pm.

'A penumbral eclipse occurs as the moon moving through the shadow of the Earth.' 'The darkest eclipses occur when the moon moves through the Earth's umbral shadow.
