A super blood Moon is one of the most stunning sights on the planet.

Earth will be between the Sun and the Moon in the only full lunar eclipse of the year.

The Moon will slowly turn red as it falls into Earth's shadow.

It will be visible before dawn on Monday in most of Europe. The Americas will see a great view on Sunday.

The Moon will be larger than usual because it will be at its closest point to Earth.

The moon will be called a super flower blood moon. A flower moon is a full moon in May that coincides with the Spring flowers.

During the full eclipse, the only sunlight that reaches the Moon will be through the Earth's atmosphere.

Dr Gregory Brown is an astronomer at the Royal Observatory in London.

You will be able to see every sunrise and sunset on the Earth at the same time. He told the news that the light will be projected on to the moon.

The western part of Europe will get a good view of the eclipse on Monday. You can see the moon falling into shadow on the horizon between 0230 and 4/20/2019. It should be seen in Africa.

The Moon is very low in the sky in the UK so it is important to watch from a high vintage point.

The UK will get a better view of the eclipse.

The Moon is slowly being taken out by the Earth's shadow. The moon is going to be red at 0429 BST. The eclipse will last until 0750 BST.

The spectacle will last 84 minutes. If you are in western US and Canada, the time to watch the horizon is Sunday evening as the Moon rises.

While looking through binoculars or a small telescope you can see it.

The best place to view the eclipse is the Moon itself, a place very few people have been lucky enough to visit.

If you were an astronomer on the Moon, you would see a red ring around the planet.
