Hi Wales!
All you'll need are clear or partly cloudy skies.
The partial eclipse starts in Wales at 9:30 p.m. GMT. At first you'll notice nothing, but after a few minutes, observe that a broad area at the right edge of the moon seems to be very dark. This area grows across the face of the moon over the next hour until, by 10:44 p.m., all of the moon is engulfed. This is when totality starts.
The total phase of the eclipse lasts 1 hour 14 minutes. The moon will still be visible, but with a ruddy ghostliness that darkens
as you approach mid-eclipse. The moon should not disappear fully, though, and will stay brightest along its upper edge (to Northern Hemisphere observers).
Totality ends at 11:58 p.m. GMT, when the left or eastern edge of the moon brightens as it moves back into sunlight. Then the spectacle gradually ends with a partial eclipse, as bit by bit the moon leaves the earth's dark shadow. By 1:12 a.m. Sunday morning, the eclipse will appear fully ended.
You don't need any special equipment. All that is required is a view of the southern sky (from our Northern Hemisphere). There are absolutely no safety issues and it is imposible to hurt your eyes from a lunar eclipse.

Yes, there's a lunar eclipse tonight, we should see it here in Wales, the rain's not coming in until about 4.00am, so we've got clear skies!
Think the moon should look orange! So you know what to look out for!
