A partial lunar eclipse will be visible in Wales on Friday, August 28, with around 93% of the moon in the Earth's umbra. The event follows the solar eclipse on August 12, when more than 90% of the sun was covered by the moon and crowds gathered across Wales and the rest of the UK.
Timings for the eclipse in Wales
The penumbral eclipse will begin in Wales at 2.23am on Friday morning, with the partial eclipse starting an hour later at 3.33am. The moon will be closest to the centre of the shadow and at maximum eclipse at 5.12am in Wales.
The moon will be low on the horizon as the eclipse progresses, which could make it harder to see the event later into the morning.
Viewing advice and safety
Unlike the earlier lunar eclipse on August 12, you will not need special glasses to look at the eclipse as it is as safe as looking at a full moon, according to Royal Museums Greenwich.
For the best chance of viewing the eclipse, you will need to get to a high vantage point with a clear view towards the south-western horizon.
