South America On June 15, 2011 the first of two total lunar eclipses in 2011 takes place, the second occurring on December 10. This one is special because the Moon passes almost exactly in front of the center of the Earth's shadow.
Timing The total lunar eclipse starts 17:24 UT when the Moon hits the penumbral shadow of the Earth. See P1 on the Total Lunar Eclipse NASA information link. This moment is not very spectacular because it's hard to notice any difference. Around 18:22 UT you will see a gradual darkening of the Moon on one side and the color shifts, the Moon just entered the umbral shadow!
The greatest eclipse is at 20:12:362 UT, when the Moon is maximally at the centre of the Earth's shadow. Join the challenge to capture a photo of the Moon on that exact moment! Submit it at AstronomyLive. This total lunar eclipse belongs to Saros series 130.
