On 26 May, the Sun, Earth and Moon will align to create a unique lunar eclipse, as our only moon momentarily falls into Earth’s shadow. Unfortunately, it won't be visible from Europe. Fortunately, in cooperation with Australia's national science agency, CSIRO, ESA will live stream the event from the site of the Agency’s 35-metre deep dish tracking station in New Norcia, Australia.

The programme starts at 11:30 CEST on ESA Web TV. The partial lunar eclipse begins at 11:44 CEST and the moment of “totality” – when the Moon is fully shrouded in Earth’s shadow – occurs around 13:11 CEST.
