An eclipse that occurs at midnight means that we are observing it across the North Pole and the top of the World. The next eclipse of 2011 will be the total lunar eclipse on June 15th, the first total eclipse of the year.

The recent partial eclipse was missed by most people, so we share your sentiments. It was only visible in the Arctic regions but the next eclipse on june 15th should be visible from S.America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia - so if you are in one of these locations be on the look out - 20.12 UT
Thanks
Aira
