Rare central Lunar eclipse, June 2011 Live webcast

A free, live webcast from Bareket Observatory in Israel will feature the total lunar eclipse on June 15, 2011. [June 16 NZST]

This relatively rare central eclipse -- meaning the moon will pass through the center of Earth's shadow -- promises to be longer and darker than usual. A similar eclipse will not occur until 2018.This should be one of the most spectacular lunar eclipses in the last years!

This special webcast takes place from 17.00 - 23.00 UTC (GMT) June 15 (20.00 - 02.00 Israel local time). [05.00 – 11.00 June 16 NZST]
