"Just a few weeks ago we were marveling at the incredible sight of the totally eclipsed Sun on Slooh," Slooh astronomer Will Gater said, according to a press release. "Now it's the Moon's turn to take centre stage. Total lunar eclipses, like the one we're looking forward to on 4 April, are a slow, ethereal affair and, as usual, we'll have cameras around the world bringing us live views. What better way to start the day than tuning in to watch this wonderful event."
