A total lunar eclipse together with a lunar occultation of Uranus will occur in Hong Kong on November 8.

Starting before moonrise, the total eclipse phase will begin at 6.16pm and end at 7.42pm.

During the period, the moon will not completely vanish but will appear dull red as a result of the blue part of sunlight being scattered by the Earth's atmosphere and the remaining red light refracted onto the moon.

The whole process of the lunar eclipse will end at 9.58pm.

It can be observed at places with unobstructed easterly views while a telescope is required to observe Uranus.

The eclipse will be webcast live here.

The next lunar eclipse observable in Hong Kong will be on May 5, 2023.
