"In the UK, the eclipse will be visible from Moon rise at 9.06pm BST (16 July) to 1.17am BST (17 July)," said The Royal Observatory Greenwich.
"The best time to see the eclipse is between Moon rise at 9.06pm BST to 11.59pm BST, which is when the Moon will pass through the Earth’s umbra (full shadow).
"At maximum, we will only see a little over 60% of the surface of the Moon pass through Earth’s full shadow and appear red.
"The other part of the Moon will still appear silvery grey because sunlight is still reflecting off that part of the Moon."
The entire event will last for around five hours across the time-zones where the eclipse is visible.
