How you can see the Buck Moon lunar eclipse that will take place this weekend

And while the astronomical event can be best seen from South America and part of the USA, stargazers in the UK aren't going to totally miss out.

When viewed from London for example, stargazers will catch a glimpse at about 4.41am - the moment of the maximum eclipse - before the Moon then sets at 4.45am.

But keep in mind this will be a very subtle eclipse, caused by the Full Moon passing through Earth's weaker - penumbral - shadow.
