Total Lunar Eclipse

That’s right, a total lunar eclipse will be happening on the night of next Wednesday the 26th of May! But what is a lunar eclipse and what is the best way to see it? To tell us all about this celestial phenomenon, we were joined once more by astronomer and Museums Victoria Senior Curator Dr. Tanya Hill.
