Lunar Eclipse Aug 5, 2009 Time Schedule (Aug 6, 2009 in some countries)

After the stunning solar eclipse witnessed by some people in Asia a few weeks ago, we have another one but this time it would be a lunar eclipse.

Lunar eclipse is a phenomenon where the Earth casts a shadow over the moon covering it up, quite opposite with a solar eclipse where the moon casts a shadow over the earth.

The Lunar Eclipse will happen on the evening of August 5 or August 6, depending on the location of your country.

It is safe to look at a lunar eclipse directly.
