Stargazers to see first lunar eclipse of the decade on January 10-11

Stargazers will have the chance to see the first lunar eclipse of the decade tonight as the outer shadow of the Earth passes over the full Wolf Moon.

It won't be an obvious change as it is a 'penumbral eclipse' - this is where the diffuse outer shadow of the Earth falls on the Moon's face, according to the Daily Mail.

Unlike a total or partial eclipse where all or part of the Moon is obscured, the only visible change will be a dark shading across the natural satellite.

The phenomenon will begin at about 17:00 GMT and is expected to end at about 21:00 GMT although is likely only visible at the mid-point around 19:00 GMT. 

It will be most obviously visible in Europe, Africa and Western Asia and can be seen in the east-northeast sky, astronomers confirmed.
