Lunar Eclipse, October 8, 2014
On October 8, 2014 there will be a total lunar eclipse. It will be particularly convenient for Eastern Australia, because it begins just after sunset.
I’ve put together a package of information designed for parents and teachers, kinda hoping that some of the teachers at my son’s school will use it.
Download the lunar eclipse information pack.
