FED:Moon turns red on Saturday

The moon will turn red tomorrow for the second time this year.

Stargazers will have to wait until 2014 for a repeat performance of the celestial spectacular,
visible only in Australia and parts of Asia.

It's the second total lunar eclipse this year, following one in May.

Australia's east coast is one of the best places on earth to see the eclipse and it
can be seen from just before midnight tomorrow until 3am Sunday (AEDT).

The entire moon will turn red as it slips into the earth's darkest shadow.
