Early birds will catch total eclipse of the moon

South Africans will be able to see a total eclipse of the moon just before sunrise on Thursday. ”South Africans out [very] early on Thursday morning are in for a treat — an eclipsed Moon with Saturn over in the west, and a line of three planets over in the east above the rising sun,” said Claire Flanagan, Planetarium director.
