I have created graphics that preview the Total Lunar Eclipse for the evening of 2004 OCT 27 (morning of 28th for Europeans.)

They show nine phases of the eclipse as viewed from each of three cities. A fictional blue wall has been placed behind the Moon to make the Earth's shadow obvious. In reality, the shadow will only be apparent as the Moon moves across it.

To see a graphic, click:

Then click the small blue button for the eclipse sequence of the city nearest to you.

The graphics may be removed soon after the event occurs. wink
