Find it
The Moon from Georgetown at greatest eclipse, 11:22 pm GYT: face the south and look about two and a half hand-spans up from the horizon (58°).
At arm’s length a fist covers about 10°, a hand-span about 25°.
How to watch
No special gear: a lunar eclipse is safe to watch with the eye, binoculars or a telescope.
Find a view of the part of the sky the table names, away from tall trees and buildings.
A phone on a tripod or wall, with Night mode, can record the colour change.
For a class
Shine a torch at a ball (the Moon) past a bigger ball (the Earth) to show the shadow.
Ask students to note the time and the Moon’s colour every 15 minutes, with the clock in Guyana time.
Discuss why everyone on the night side of the Earth sees a lunar eclipse at the same moment, but a solar eclipse at different times.
