A rare lunar event turning the Moon deep shades of red across Australia will occur tonight - and will be the last lunar eclipse for three years.
The eclipse will be visible right across the country on November 8, with viewing times varying depending on where you live.
The 'blood moon' event occurs when the Sun, Earth and Moon align, resulting in the Moon passing into the Earth's shadow.
When the Moon is completely covered it will turn a deep red - the reason for the 'blood moon' description.
On the east coast, the event starts at 8.09pm, with the total eclipse expected to begin at 9.16pm, while in Queensland it begins an hour earlier.
In South Australia the event begins at 7.43pm, at 6.42pm in the Northern Territory and 6.43pm on the west coast.
