Remember: a total lunar eclipse is completely safe to view with the naked eye. However, stargazers hoping to catch a glimpse of the upcoming partial solar eclipse, or of the August 2026 total solar eclipse, will need to pick up a pair of reliable eclipse glasses to protect their vision.

People across the East Midlands looked to the sky on Sunday evening as the moon took on a deep red hue.

In the UK, the full eclipse began at 18:30 BST and lasted until about 21:55.
