Daily Mail Story
Night owls can catch one of the great spectacles of the night sky early tomorrow morning - the last "proper" total eclipse of the moon for seven years.
If the skies are clear, those who brave the cold will see the earth's shadow take a "bite" out of the moon just after 1.40am.
At 3am, when the total eclipse gets under way, the moon will turn blood-red for 52 minutes as it passes completely into shadow.
Unfortunately right now it's foggy here near Heathrow. If I happen to wake up around 3am I might be tempted to take a look out the window though.

Well from my window I can see the moon but it's cloudy. I reckon if I check at 2:45 and then either watch it from my window or go outside.

I LOVE all things Space...but Lunar Eclipses are boring I must admit. Once you've seen one there's no need to fuss over seeing another!

The fog had lifted but it was getting cloudy here when I went to bed. I did wake up overnight but not until around 5am so I missed it.

It was too cloudy in the end.
Also I'm not even sure I was looking in the right part of the sky.
