Although I signed a declaration rejecting materials from other websites, this time I'm going to sin. I think this post doesn't worth it if any body can understand it, so this is a copy from my mail:
LUNAR ECLIPSE: On Wednesday night, June 15th, there's going to be a total lunar eclipse visible from every continent except North America. The Moon will spend 100 minutes fully engulfed in Earth's shadow, making this the longest lunar eclipse in nearly 11 years. The appearance of the eclipse might be affected by exhaust from Chile's erupting Puyehue-Cordón Caulle volcano, which is also causing spectacular sunsets around the southern hemisphere. Discussion, eclipse maps, and links to live webcasts may be found at http://spaceweather.com.
This link provide the hours, of course U.T. shadowandsubstance.com/
I hope you enjoy this wonderful gift.

Javier,
Hey colleague! What have you done? My Dog is waving with his tail! O-oh, you have prepared something delicious, smells nice.... Javier, that's not fair! Don't call us when you have prepared such a sumptuous table! It's too severe temptation even for Angels, needless to mention dogs. Disappeari-iiiiing! =)
LOL J, Oksana, I enjoyed reading your conversation :D
Congratssss for passing your exam J! ^^
About the next eclipse, will you report it live to us again Oksana? :D :D
I'm blushing!–D
How could guess this things except a clever woman?–D
YES, I am a professional dreamer,–D Amazing!
That's why I've tried to find an Angel (although has a barking dog!-)
˜J˜
Well, then you are a professional dreamer! :P
Dreamers also adore observing stars, clouds, and the Moon. The most professional among them should know how to count degrees between the desirable star and the horizon. :P
Have I guessed? Again no? It's impossible! :D
Hi Javier! How do you know all these complicated things about degrees above the horizon? Are you an astronomer?
Oh, yes, congrats with passing the exam! =) What was it about? I mean what was the subject? Astronomy, no? ;)
Hi friends! I'm agitated too these days but for various reasons.
YES! I saw the eclipse! amazing for me although I wasn't in the best place to feel differences with other days. I know, I know , I was trained with this type of phenomena.
First of all, I knew, yesterday night, this time zone –Greenwich, London TM– is two hours earlier than UTM –now we are in summer schedule(?) so we are living two hours earlier than Sun timming, it was a doubt that I had–. 2º There was a cloud bar covering the horizon, maybe 8-10º above it and I was at the sea shore –not exactly but only a few meters– down the city lights, where the cars were running with their noises, brilliant lights and moving the air (this pity thing it's explained after, don't worry)
We need to wait at least two hours for the full Moon, after a whole hour walking we decided to have a beer (or two) in a terrace looking at the East –fresh and sprinkled beers as this comment–) talking and commenting about other things when FINALLY the Moon appeared over the clouds, totally eclipsed already but at the gaze of any body who want to wacht it, with her strange ashen light. All evening was breezing, the fresh breeze near the sea shore you know, but around quarter past eleven night (local time), the breeze stopped for a moment (I've felt this phenomenon at some eclipses that I had the fortune to observe during my life,-) After this briefly moment the breeze began to blow again and there, a slightly white line became to appear from the South West of the Moon to the North East of it. The sky slowly turned to his full blue colour (a very dark blue of course)
Need to tidy the washing machine…maybe later… hehehehe

P.S. Another reason to be agitated, I pass the exams! incredible, isn't it?-D
Thanks Syubi. I really was agitated and astonished when seeing it with my Mom. The Moon was red and big, it was partly covered by the shade of the Earth. So, I saw only the crescent of the Moon which went on narrowing until complete dissapear.
Thus, this year is really abundant with eclipses.
By the way, where is our host? Hey, Javier! Have you seen the event?
Oksana, you reported it live to us here! :D :D
Well, I was still awake at that time and I was able to see it live for about a minute or two :D That time, part of the moon was covered already (I don't know how to describe). It was not fun because everyone was sleeping and I watched it all alone. So after a minute or two, I came back and saw it from the link you gave :D :D One hour later, I went out of my house and tried to see it again, but I could not see anything so I went to bed. It was 3 am... :S
