Mangalore, December 8: One of the best sky events of this year is lunar eclipse on Saturday, December 10. Full moon passes deep into Earth Shadow.

This lunar Eclipse puts on a great show to us on that day. The total eclipse will be between 7.36 pm to 8.27 pm for 51 minutes.

The moon likely will take on an orange red-colour during totality as a small amount of sun light passes through earth atmosphere and scatters on to our only natural planet at totality.
