Red Moon Rising over Irish Blog Awards

A lunar eclipse begins tonight at 11. 15 and will continue for approximately an hour during which time the moon will have a red hue.

Put simply the Earth, Moon and Sun will each be aligned so that we will block the light which the Moon usually reflects to light out night sky.

Here is a news articles on the eclipse for the sake of it.

Met Eireann tells us that weather will permit and we can expect a clear sky to enjoy the view.

Reports that the eclipse is occuring due to the impending destruction of the planet or so many bloggers convening on one location cannot be confirmed at this time.
