Dr Robert Massey, deputy executive director of the UK's Royal Astronomical Society explained,the supermoon which causes the Moon to appear larger near the horizon than it does higher up in the sky.
The eclipse will start at 01:11 BST, when the Moon enters the lightest part of the Earth's shadow, known as the penumbra, and adopts a yellowish colour. At 03:11 BST, the Moon completely enters the umbra - the inner dark corpus of our planet's shadow.
The point of greatest eclipse occurs at 03:47 BST, when the Moon is closest to the centre of the umbra. The sky show is over by 05:22 in the morning on Monday.
The Royal Astronomical Society says that unlike the solar equivalent, a total lunar eclipse event is safe to watch and needs no special equipment.
The next total lunar eclipse visible in its entirety from the UK will be in 2019.
