The full blood moon can be seen from North and South America, western Europe and Africa.
Skywatchers in western Europe and eastern Africa, plus parts of Asia will only see a partial eclipse of the moon.
But the UK will get an opportunity to watch the whole lunar spectacular from start to finish, although it means getting up early or staying up late.
The partial eclipse begins at 3.33am, with the total eclipse beginning at 4.41am and finishing at 5.43am.
