Tonight, India will witness a blood moon – a rare phenomenon that was last witnessed in 1866. The moon will fully emerge from Earth's shadow at 1512 GMT. The entire passage will take more than three hours, during which the moon will turn a coppery red as sunlight going through Earth's atmosphere bounces off its surface. Wells, author of "The Time Machine", was born. Further south, the Hong Kong Space Museum has organised a "Night of Total Lunar Eclipse", though skywatchers may be disappointed due to cloudy weather.
