New Zealand stargazers will be in for a treat tonight.
New Zealanders will be able to see a rare lunar spectacle, not seen in our sky in more than 800 years.
The process will start with the shadow of the Earth moving across the moon’s face. It will be 97% covered with shadow by 10pm.
At that moment, the lunar surface will briefly turn red. The near-total eclipse will finish its three-and-a-half-hour journey just prior to midnight.
Nasa will livestream the event or you can watch it a a better time as it will be happening very late tonight.
Question:
Can you research and find out what else happened 800 years ago? Can find any other times you see the number 800 in your world?
