A rare partial lunar eclipse will be on display for around 80 minutes on Saturday, when the full moon will appear to have a “bite” taken out of its lower edge.

Weather permitting, this unusual spectacle will be visible all over the country from 8.35pm to 9.53pm on Saturday night, when the moon will be high in the east.
