The partial lunar eclipse comes ahead of the full solar eclipse which will be visible in North America for the first time in 99 years on August 21 - it has been dubbed the Great American Eclipse.

Everyone in North America, parts of South America, Africa and Europe will see at least a partial solar eclipse.

The next lunar eclipse will be on 31 January 2018 and it will be total. It will also be visible from all parts of the Indian sub-continent.
