Free Live Lunar Eclipse Webcast from Bareket Observatory
2011 June 15th

A free, live webcast from Bareket Observatory in Israel will feature the
total lunar eclipse on June 15, 2011.
This relatively rare central eclipse -- meaning the moon will pass near
the center of Earth's shadow -- promises to be longer and darker than
usual.  A similar eclipse will not occur until 2018. This should be one
of the most spectacular lunar eclipses in the last years!

This special webcast takes place from 17.00 - 23.00 UTC (GMT) June 15,
20.00 - 02.00 Israel local time.
