This hoax might be some misinformed news about the total lunar eclipse tomorrow evening. It is a total eclipse where the moon will pass directly behind the Earth. When it is fully behind the Earths shadow, it will take on a red glow/colour similar to what Mars would look like.

6:51pm Start eclipse
7:52pm Total eclipse of moon.
8:37pm Greatest Eclipse
9:23pm Moon moves out of eclipse
10:24pm End of eclipse

Time are in AEST. Best view will be from the eastern states. Perth will see the moon already eclipsed as it passes over the horizon.

Dunno if I'll be able to see it since I'm in the city...but I wonder if this is similar to the last time I saw the moon a bright red?

I took photos of it, so I'll post em up when I get home

last night: nothing happened here... still 1 moon.. it's kinda brighter than usual tho.. Confused

From what I read seems that the moon eclipse will only be visible in Australia.. but i'll check too tonight.

Read on smh.com.au that the lunar eclipse may be drowned out in Sydney by all the lights and the ever-rising pollution levels.

Apparently the BEST place to go see it is either at the Observatory, or out in the Blue Mountains hahaha.

man, what an awesome sight!

could see it pretty clearly in the city tonight, but i reckon if i was further out then the red would have been more brighter.

It always occurred to me, when looking at the moon normally, it looks like a plain disc.
But that night when I saw it, I really noticed that it too a more solid state. It kinda reminded me of the planet Mustafar from Star Wars Ep III.
