The Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute says a total lunar eclipse will be visible from any location on the Korean Peninsula on Saturday night if the weather is clear.

The institute said on Tuesday that the Earth will start to eclipse the moon at 9:45 p.m. on Saturday and the total eclipse could be observed at 11:23 p.m.

A total eclipse occurs when the moon passes completely behind the Earth’s shadow.

The moon will appear to turn red during the event and it will look normal again from 2:32 a.m. on Sunday when the eclipse ends.

This will be the first total lunar eclipse visible from the peninsula since July 2000. The next such eclipse will occur on January 31st 2018.
