Whether its a partial or full lunar eclipse...you will see Earth's shadow on the moon. I think the moon goes slightly orangey-red in colour. Will have a look this weekend, when I find out at what time to expect it.

No...that's a solar eclipse when it gets dark here on earth because of the moon's shadow.

According to Gulf News it is a partial (13 per cent) SOLAR eclipse today between 2.41 pm and 4.11 pm. So head out at half past three to see it.
