It will be dark, very dark.
The partial eclipse will begin at 20:23 pm.
The total eclipse will last from 21:22 to 23:03 pm followed by another partial eclipse (it is not like turning a light on and off dummy!).
The full moon will completely leave the Earth’s umbral shadow a few minutes after midnight.
But, don’t believe me, ask Wikipedia.

Alan's ethos is epitomised in the words of Nelson Mandela; "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society. If need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die."

You must be kidding me? I have just read the following with regard to the Lunar Eclipse; “Viewing a lunar eclipse does not require taking any eye safety precautions.”
Isn’t that a bit like saying on a peanut butter container; “Caution, may be harmful to persons allergic to nuts”?
As if in some way you can look at the moon with your naked eye ONLY when it is not being shaded by the sun!
