Don’t be surprised if the moon looks like its red tonight, as a partial lunar eclipse will be visible over the skies of the UAE.

The phenomenon is set to start at 22:45 and will last for several hours.

During a partial eclipse the full moon passes through the shadow of the Earth, painting it a stunning shade of red.

But make sure you catch it while it lasts - the next one isn't expected to place for another two years.
