Tomorrow's lunar eclipse won't be visible here
There will be a total eclipse of the moon on Tuesday, but unless you're living in eastern South America, Africa, the Middle East, Europe, Southern or Southeast Asia, Australia or floating in the 
Indian Ocean, you won't see any of it.
Now, one person in a fine position to watch the eclipse is my old friend and regular WeatherBlog reader Jack Starmer, director and founder of HealthCare Nepal, who is currently leading a medical mission to that mountain republic.
He and his team should take a break from their work at 18:23 UT and watch the moon drift into the shadow of the Earth. The eclipse will become total at 19:22 UT, and end at 22:04 UT.
Should be a spectacular sight with the moonlight on the Himalayas.
For the rest of us, the next total lunar eclipse visible in full from the mid-Atlantic states will be on April 15, 2014.

Can some one tell me the time of the lunar eclipse in India time? It’s starting and ending time.
FR: For Mumbai and Kolkata, add 5 1/2 hours to the UT time in the blog post.

Hiya,
Google you tube had a special live cast of this and to be honest it was riveting. Nothing soothes my nerves out more than celestial mechanics.
