ffuturesJust a reminder that there's a partial Lunar eclipse on Friday morning, visible in Britain from 2.23 AM to 6.51 AM
This is going to be very near the horizon for the more noticeable parts, and I suspect not very visible from London, but if it's a clear night I might stay up for it.
Details at the Greenwich observatory web site
