When is the lunar eclipse in February 2017?

Astrologers in Britain might be able to see a subtle shadowing of the moon as the lunar eclipse begins at 10.34pm.

It is thought that the lunar eclipse will peak at 12.43am before drawing to an end at about 2.53am in the early hours of Saturday.

Watch out for the solar eclipse, Snow Moon and New Year's comet on Friday night

People across the Americas, Europe, Africa and most of Asia should be able to catch a glimpse of the lunar eclipse.

The Earth’s shadow will fall on the moon during the eclipse as the the Earth, sun and moon line in space.

Friday’s eclipse is known as a penumbral lunar eclipse because only the diffuse outer shadow of the Earth covers the moon.

Unlike the dramatic total eclipse of the moon, you can only see a subtle dark shadow on the moon during the penumbral version.
