A partial lunar eclipse is expected to be visible from Ireland later tonight.
The eclipse will begin just before 10pm on Tuesday evening, and will remain until midnight.
A lunar eclipse is when the Earth crosses between the sun and the moon, casting a shadow on the surface of the moon.
This eclipse has been labelled as particularly "deep", and falls exactly 50 years since Apollo 11 took flight, bringing humans to the lunar surface for the first time.
A post on Astronomy.ie reads: "Nearly two thirds of the Moon will go inside Earth's shadow from Moonrise just before 10pm until midnight, quite a 'deep' eclipse, not to be missed.
"This eclipse is the perfect start to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first Apollo Moon Landing as it will occur 50 years to the day that Apollo 11 was launched to the Moon, arriving on July 20."
