<br>
There will be a total eclipse of the Moon on Thu Feb 21st before sunrise.
<br>
The eclipse starts at 3:42am and ends 7:08am (after the Moon has set for <st1:country-region
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">South Africa</st1:place></st1:country-region>).<br>
The eclipse will be total from 5:00am to 5:50am. The start and most of
totality will be visible from all of <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">South Africa</st1:place></st1:country-region>. The Moon starts
recovering from the eclipse at 5:50am, about the time it sets for Jhb. <st1:City
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Cape Town</st1:place></st1:City> (further to the
west) will see some of the recovery. <br>
<br>
